Most likely, this has been introduced by this commit:

commit 19b2dbde5732170a03bd82cc8bd442cf88d856f7
Author: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>
Date:   Wed Jun 12 10:15:12 2013 +0100

    drm/i915: Restore fences after resume and GPU resets

At least I'm not able to reproduce it with that commit reverted.  With that
commit in I was able to reproduce it quite readily on machines with Ivy Bridge
and Sandy Bridge processors.

Thanks,
Rafael
