IIRC, In Tribe 5 we were using the old (now deprecated) 6.6.x branch of xserver-xorg-video-ati, so I'd guess this was an outcome of upgrading to 6.7. Thus as a workaround you could probably revert to 6.6.3 to address the symptoms.

For solving the root problem though, this sounds vaguely similar to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12175. Could you try doing the following to see if you can reproduce that issue?

1. Start a video using Xv video output
2. Move the movie window offscreen, such that the video area is fully invisible
3. Does xserver crash?
