Also note that user with nick 'curro' noted that
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35452 fixes that issue partially,
and indeed even though flickering is there, at least upon full-screen game
exit, compiz continues to work fine and not gain the same flickering issue.

Also I found out why alien-arena was such a good reproducer of this bug.
It now looks that compiz due to a bug or a race doesn't un-redirect games that
switch resolution upon start.
(First I noticed that if game uses non-native resolution, it always flickers,
then I switched the screen via xrandr to target resolution _before_ starting
the game, and flicker disappeared)
And alien-arena weren't using native resolution.
Pretty much for me that issue is fixed now as I don't really play
non-fullscreen games (FPS loss and pointless anyway).
And nether I want to play while rendering is done via compiz (because of
non-native resolution bug)
Nouveau i quite fast these days, fast enough to run all games I play
occasionally at native resolution (1280x800)
