A long time has passed and things have changed:

(1)
After setting ColorTiling off, I haven't seen the issue again.

(2)
I have changed hardware in the mean time, and the new box, with a
M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200], doesn't show the issue even with
ColorTiling enabled

(3)
I will be back on the old hardware probably over the easter weekend

(4)
KMS gives me a truckload of other troubles which I haven't fully
understood yet, so I have disabled KMS for the time being.

Feel free to close this bug report. I can re-open it when I see the
issue again.
 
Greetings
Marc
