Finally I got some time to test that patch too. I checked out branch `debian-unstable` from the Debian packaging Git repository [1] (based on release 2.19.0)

intel: Throttle harder
Limited testing shows that the glyph corruption is gone. Unfortunately performance seems to be slower too. That means for example maximizing a window it does not happen instantly and I can see how it is redrawn. So basically the same behavior with `"DebugWait" "true"`, if I remember correctly.
