Glitchy Output

If I attach an external monitor to my Lenovo Thinkpad T420 and type the
following command:
    xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --primary --output LVDS1 --off
I get glitchy output as shown in the attached picture.

I have tested with a pre-built Ubuntu kernel here:
<a href="http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/current/">http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/current/</a>
This should be commit bae3699182027525d92b97d904578a533264b242 from the
drm-intel tree next branch.

The related launchpad bug is here:
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1157678">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1157678</a>

While <a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_RESOLVED  bz_closed"
   title="RESOLVED FIXED - Resume in multihead configuration leads to broken background"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=57160">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57160</a> is linked in the bug,
I believe this is another issue. I've tested with a kernel that contains the
patch and it did not fix the issue.

My graphics card is:
2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:116]</pre>
