Yeah, that certainly sounds like the 2D driver's fault unless you're
seeing corruption only when you start running a 3D client/vi. Does it
change when you toggle AccelMethod "XAA" to "EXA" or vice versa (I
don't remember the default for radeon). If you're still having issues,
I'd highly suggest filing a bug. Alex Deucher is very responsive on
radeon bugs.

You probably also want to try xorg-server-1.5.2, although nothing pops
out at me as fixing this type of bug looking at the commits since
1.5.1.
