Some similarity with #54883 but here the corruptions are benign, nothing except graphical output is affected.
Comment 1 Jérôme Carretero 2012-09-15 16:15:57 UTC 
Downgrading cairo from 1.12.2 to 1.10.2 (thanks to chithead pointing https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409593) removed the artifacts.

Apparently this is still a nouveau issue though.
Comment 2 Jérôme Carretero 2012-09-15 16:29:02 UTC 
Re-used the latest cairo and attempted to use a workaround suggested in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47266#c37 :

[  6206.704] (WW) NOUVEAU(0): Option "EXAPixmaps" is not used

But the glitches still appear.
Comment 3 Emil Velikov 2012-10-28 18:00:53 UTC 
The issue in bug 54883 has been fixed by updating xf86-video-nouveau to 1.0.3

Can you give it a go ?
Comment 4 Jérôme Carretero 2012-10-29 00:23:14 UTC 
Resolution in xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.3 confirmed, thanks!
