I did notice that bug and it looked similar, but I've not seen any of
the other corruption issues mentioned.
I should have noted that the fonts don't start out looking that way. The
blocks only appear after I've clicked on one of the drop-down selection
menus. That's probably and important detail. However, it's very
intermittent. Happens about 60% of the time I think.
The other system I put my drive into had a Nvidia GTX 970 and definitely
nouveau as it's newly installed Debian as of last week and I made no
special configuration changes.

Notice the blocks under "Menu" in the middle-right where letters should be in
the UI.
The hardware is a Zotac ZBox CA320 which has a AMD A6-1450 APU (Radeon HD 8250).
Looks like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63397 .
I pulled the SSD from this system and ran it on other hardware with a different
(NVidia) GPU and the artifacts went away.
Which drivers were used on the Nvidia GPU? If it wasn't the nouveau
kernel driver and the Xorg modesetting driver, it would be interesting
if you could try that combination to see if it happens with that as
well. That could narrow down where the bug is.
