I can at least confirm the problem for xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.3.2-1, it was present in prior version as well.
Notable changes from the diff to me is that the register 'PP_STATUS' is changed to '0xd0000009' when failing and to '0xd000000a' when suceeding (second try). diff of xserver-xorg log is attached.
