A little update: I tried to switch from EXA to XAA acceleration and
redid the test.
After adding the line
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
to the Device section of my xorg.conf and restarting the X server,
I am using XAA acceleration:
# grep -i xaa /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) intel(0): Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
(**) intel(0): Using XAA for acceleration

(II) LoadModule: "xaa"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libxaa.so
(II) Module xaa: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
(II) intel(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA)
(II) intel(0): 0x01950000-0x0195ffff: xaa scratch (64 kB)
I am currently using xserver-xorg-video-intel/2:2.2.1-2 and
linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64/2.6.24-6.
Unfortunately I *can* reproduce the bug with XAA acceleration, as well.
Interestingly enough, with XAA, the behavior is exactly like it was
with version 2:2.1.0-2: the screen froze (rather than closing the X
session entirely). This means that the behavioral difference between
versions 2.1.0 and 2.2.1 is due to their different default acceleration
method (XAA for the former, EXA for the latter).
