First of all, please attach the Xorg.0.log file and the output of glxinfo and
dmesg.

Does the problem also occur without DPM?

BTW, in case your Mesa is built with --enable-r600-llvm-compiler, does the
problem also occur if you disable the LLVM based shader compiler with the
environment variable R600_LLVM=0 for the SL process?

That's just not true, see comment #3. Also (to preempt another concern you
mentioned on IRC), bisecting normally doesn't require any knowledge of the
code.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce anything like what you describe with
that apitrace on my machines.

Five iterations of git bisect would go a long way towards isolating the
problem. If you had started the bisection when you reported this bug, you would
have isolated the change introducing the problem for you a long time ago, even
if you only tested it once a day.
