There is a workaround for each window manager: Metacity with Compositing disabled does not show the behavior described above, nor does Compiz with "Sync to VBlank" disabled. After resetting all settings I could think of (both xorg.conf and ~/.nvidia-settings-rc) this led me to the conclusion that compositing is, while not completely broken, at least flawed with the latest nvidia-current. I would be happy to provide any information that might be helpful, but cannot think of any logs, but if there is anything, let me know. edit: Forgot to mention that this did not occur with 10.04 and the 256-series of the nvidia-driver. Upgrading to the nvidia-current version from x-swat (at the time of writing 260.19.12-0ubuntu1~xup2) does not fix the problem described above.
