KeithM, I came to think about one thing. We carry a not-bleeding-edge
xserver-xorg-video-intel (2.9.1) since that gives us possibility for
UMS fallback for people who have problems on their hardware and has
been very stable. It may be possible that a newer driver will be able
to not keep resetting indefinitely. That is, it will probably still
hang, since that seems to be a kernel problem, but it may fail more
graciously. Could you try the xorg-edgers PPA which contains the
newest drivers and grab the same files as last time when/if it hangs
again? You can upload the files directly to the upstream bug report,
saying that this is from xorg-edgers.
