Just an update that as of today, on a fully upgraded Karmic system, I now experience the following new behavior:

1. with compiz enabled, X freezes within three seconds of Gnome loading. It used to take up to a minute

2. on the other hand, I can now use alt-printscreen-r-e to restart X. Before, this did not work, as the system seemed to accept no keyboard input at all after X froze

So in one respect things have gotten worse, in another they're slightly better. I will keep reporting back; please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help fix this--this is relatively popular hardware, I think, so I suspect it will be a show-stopper for many users upgrading to Karmic (unless they disable compiz, which many probably won't want to/know how to do). Has a report been filed upstream?

Still nothing relevant in dmesg or Xorg.log after the crash.
