[Nouveau] Missing menus in windows after update

Ubuntu 13.10 x86_64 up to date on laptop with nVidia GeForce GTX 765M.

There were some updates that I applied last week, and ever since I have
missing text in some menus and lists. It is especially bad in Claws Mail
and LibreOffice Writer. However, text appears correctly; it's just the
menus where the text has disappeared. For example, when writing in LO
Writer the part of the window where the typed text appears is fine; but
the menus along the top have just --- instead of the word (File, Edit,
etc.), and if I click on one of the --- the drop-down shows only a --
to the left of the item. None of the style names appear in the styles
toolbar, nor does the name of the font that is in use.

After the update I have:

	libdrm-nouveau2 2.4.46-1-ubuntu1
	xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.9-2ubuntu1

This computer has never had the nVidia proprietary drivers installed.
Nor have I ever tried to use the extra features (bumblebee, etc.). There
are no error messages in Xorg.0.log.

I could use some suggestions for where to look to fix this, or how to
file a bug report.
