I'm sorry for this big delay, but I've finally taken the time to test this out. I can confirm that the visual glitches and crashes are still present in the latest version of the package, 2:1.19.0-2. Also, when using the above-mentioned technique for forcing the driver to "intel" (I've confirmed that it loaded by looking at ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.log.0), I don't see visual flashes anymore.
