I've tried with a 3.18 kernel and still got the issue, so the issue is not in
the kernel. I had the firmware files from that date as well to eliminate that
possibility.

Now this is interesting, as the reboot were only post-freeze so never to test a
certain mesa version.
I've rolled back to 11 and restarted the computer and will try.

Since you mentioned presenting, could it be the DDX?


New information: I don't need to have the video on screen for the issue to
happen. I can alt-tab or switch to another virtual desktop while the script
runs and it still freezes.
