If indeed the problem this bug describes is the error "(WW) intel(0): first get vblank counter failed: Invalid argument"
then I think my fix for bug 763005 will solve that. Because part of the fix for bug 763005 is to remove the need for compiz to get the vblank counter at all.

If this bug doesn't become a duplicate of bug 763005, maybe it can be considered a duplicate of the more general tearing bug 880707 which affects any graphics chip and has an exact known cause.
