This bug still appears to be present as of 12/10/07 with all updates applied on an IBM X31. Compiz-fusion under feisty (and beryl) had worked. The graphics chip is a Radeon Mobility M6 LY.

Trying compiz --replace in a terminal gives:

Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 01:00.0 0300: 1002:4c59 (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (1024x768) to maximum 3D texture size (512): Failed.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

Mucking about with removing and reinserting drm/radeon modules has no effect.
