Okay, I pulled the following packages from the PPA:

libdrm2 (2.4.1-0ubuntu7~intrepid)
libdrm-intel1 (2.4.1-0ubuntu7~intrepid)
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.5.1-1ubuntu5~intrepid)

Bug is CONFIRMED in these newer packages. Console unresponsiveness is still observed, although I'm not seeing the X server peg the CPU as before.

I didn't investigate the failure modes as thoroughly this time, but I did find one helpful little tidbit: glxgears, running in a window, triggers the problem. As before, it runs fine in the first X11 session, but in a second session, the window comes up black and the console goes bye-bye (for about a minute, until the screen blanks and the Ubuntu error dialog appears). The Xorg.0.log file produced from this is interesting, and is attached above.
