Anyone noticed text corruption running xserver 1.6 + exa + qt4? Fixed in git head?

I used to have corruption issues on my development box too (running
xserver git), thought it was driver related (i run nouveau + nv86). I
left home about a month ago and a month before that (at least) the
corruption stopped. My guess is some exa bug got fixed. I didn't think
anything of it at the time (i suspected a qt4 bug, which it can't be
since i'm running latest qt4 on my laptop).
I can't be a 100% sure though as i was messing with driver allocated
pixmap driver code too. I can't confirm for another 2 months.

Now running my laptop more often i notice that radeon + rv380 has the
same issue using xserver 1.6.

Both are exa drivers. I was wondering if anyone else noticed
something. I'm not in a position to compile xorg git, just wanted to
share something i noticed.

Screenshot included of a severe case. Text boxes, search fields, and
such are affected.

Anyway, i'm curious if anyone has seen this on either 1.6 or git head.

Maarten.
