I did test the latest mainline kernel, but as of this moment don't have
a clue about how to test the latest Xorg stack or bisect a regression.
(Though if I wanted to get a clue about bisecting a regression, I could
follow your link regarding that, thanks.)

Happily for me as regards my time investment on this problem, but
perhaps unhappily as regards fixing the problem, Chris Wilson from the
Intel Open Source Technology Centre rendered this summary judgment in a
reply:

"It's a flash bug. They ignore the format of the Window that they
PutImage to. (Worse, they create an image of the right depth or else X
would reject the PutImage with a BadMatch and then render incorrect
pixel data into it.)"

If his assessment is on the mark, and if you have a PC with affected
Intel graphics that you want to display Flash content, it would seem
that the only recourse is to install a supported non-Intel video card.
