Bug Description
I was testing the unredirection compiz precise SRU on an Intel machine before Christmas. I got the same visual corruption issues that had been seen with the blacklisted Mesa 8. So we blacklisted Mesa 9 too. (I had installed Mesa 9 from the x-updates PPA.)
It is suspected that with the full LTS-Q stack, Mesa 9 will work again, and we can drop the blacklisting for Mesa 9 again. But that awaits verification.
Meanwhile, this is a bug to track the problem.

Steps to test the LTS-Q stack for any Intel user:
(amd64 or i386) lts-quantal xserver- xorg-lts- quantal libgl1- mesa-dri- lts-quantal libegl1- mesa-drivers- lts-quantal
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-
(amd64 with multi-arch requiring packages) lts-quantal xserver- xorg-lts- quantal libgl1- mesa-dri- lts-quantal libegl1- mesa-drivers- lts-quantal libgl1- mesa-glx- lts-quantal: i386
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-
Reboot, go to ccsm -> OpenGL -> Unredirect Driver Blacklist and remove the "9.0" or simply blank the option. Then try playing games et cetera.
We could now start considering re-allowing Mesa 9.0 as the supported 12.04.2 stack is in.
