I should mention, that in contrast to the original report, the stippled window 
borders appear now independent of the compositor state (on or off).
I've also tested xfwm4 in combination with compton (standalone opengl 
compositor) with the same result: occasional appearance of stippled borders.

Title:
  xfwm4 may show display distortions, when using compositing on intel
  with sna

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since sna acceleration of the intel display driver is enabled by default, I 
see two types of display distortions from time to time:
  i) windows have some times stippled borders,
  ii) xfce4-terminal shows distortions, when switching windows with alt+tab 
(view attachment).
  To reproduce it, open two terminals run some commands to fill them with text 
and switch between them via alt+tab a few times.

  I've found following workarounds to prevent this from happening:
  - switch to uxa via xorg.conf
  or
  - disable compositing in xfwm4
  - replace xfwm4 with another wm (tested with mutter, metacity)
