If you're desperate to get stability back (like I was,) try installing the 295.53-0ubuntu1~precise~xup1 series drivers from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates .
I've only had them running for a couple of days, and only watched 2-3 hours of HD video since then, but so far no crashes.

What perplexes me is that I have two virtually identical HTPC machines in the house, and only one of them hit this bug.

Same mobo, same proc, same ram, same video card, same ubuntu.

One plays primarily through XBMC with VDPAU, other through mplayer+VDPAU.

mplayer+VDPAU box crashed all the time until 295.53 drivers installed.
