This Fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1307204
looks to me to be the same issue, and says that the cause is

'The problem is that xorg 1.17 or 1.18 replaced "HAS_DIRTYTRACKING2" with 
"HAS_DIRTYTRACKING_ROTATION" in pixmap.h and the old version of xf86-video-ati 
still looks for HAS_DIRTYTRACKING2.  The newest version of xf86-video-ati looks 
for either:
#if !defined(HAS_DIRTYTRACKING_ROTATION) && !defined(HAS_DIRTYTRACKING2)'

and it appears to have patches for both ati and nouveau drivers.  But I
can't tell if that is a fedora-only patch or an upstream patch that can
be brought to Ubuntu (or will eventually be brought in the normal course
of version advances).  Of course I am not an X expert so that fedora bug
could be subtly different and thus not the same fix.
