I got exactly the same bug - sometimes (appr. one time per 5 hours) xorg process uses 100% of CPU's core while it draw something (like window scrolling or any changings on screen). Xorg version is 1:7.3+19 (1:7.3+18 did the same).
I had ATI Radeon X1600XT with hand-made cooling system (I mean it was not so good). After appearing this bug I tryed to change cooling system to good one (two huge radiators with big cooler). So, bug completly disappeared. So we have solutions, but we don't know the reason. I mean we don't know place in the source code, which provoke this bug. Bad cooling is bad of course, but xorg should say about it with some other phrases... I think, people who still have this bug should run something like profiler for xorg process to locate this place in code. Anyway, corg developers interested in this.
