Celebration! Thanks Andrea and to all others involved. And thanks to those at Nvidia for nailing the reason, even given the problem was with compiz. Nvidia seem to be coming true on their recent promises.

This bug happens to me from 12.04 from some update I think. It appears mostly when I open a new application and only ocassionally. As temporary "solution" creating some other event like opening Unity dash or opening some next window, etc. fix it. Then window content is refreshed and I can see all correctly. Same with stable and experimental nvidia drivers. Screenshot of this bug is attached.
