Now I am able to reproduce it myself. I had this some time ago but I couldn't nail it down and it was very rare while it seems to happen mostly with one video.

Xorg.0.log.old extract:

I guess it has something to do with higher resolution videos but I have to made some more tests.
To confirm it just download the new, free and great video Big Buck Bunny in 1280x800 http://blender.waag.org/big_buck_bunny_720p_stereo.ogg.torrent . Everytime I open this, close it and open a different video afterwards I got this crash. If I open the same video again X doesn't crash. I have tested it in Totem and VLC.
If you don't have any other video just download the 854x640 resolution version http://blender.waag.org/big_buck_bunny_480p_stereo.ogg.torrent . If I use this version X doesn't crash until I open the higher resolution one and then the 854x640 again.
That's why I am think the issue is video resolution related.

I have tried to use the bisect versions but with rac763634 and rf4cfc98a vesa is used instead and my screen is garbage. I am going to check it with manual set -intel driver soon. I have tested the current Debian SID driver which works fine but it is no proof since it uses Textured video instead of overlay.
