Looks very much like that on expose the pixmap is drawn to
uninitialised, i.e. the background paint went astray. Maybe it was
never emitted, it never arrived or the driver screwed up.
Please do file a bug, just so that I'm reminded of what to look out for
and we can start collecting information on triggers.

Just the common-or-garden swapbuffers-on-modeset hang. It's a race between
userspace doing a wait-on-scanline on the pipe and KMS disabling that
pipe. In theory, recent kernels (2.6.36) have extra protection to close
one race and to hopefully fixup it up after it occurs. Not a complete
solution though.
