I'm using the intel driver from unstable (2.7.1), and I have not noticed the problem.
2.7.1 also fixed other hangs I often noticed with 2.7.0. The fix was probably this change: * Fix multiplication error when computing required batch space. This could fix any number of cases where the driver did inexplicable things (due to having computed the wrong size).
