Anyone noticed text corruption running xserver 1.6 + exa + qt4? Fixed in git head?

Hello,
Not sure if it's the same bug but I see a similar problem with intel
2.7.1 (and 2.7.0) in UXA mode + kernel GEM. In EXA mode + kernel
not-GEM, this never happens. Font corruption happens only after a while
(~ one day) and only in new applications. I have xserver 1.6.1.

Example screenshot provided.
