I'm also seeing random (i.e. doesn't always happen) X crashes when playing videos on Intel-graphics hardware using XV. If a crash occurs, it happens immediately when trying to play a video through XV. Last time it happened was playing a small video (dimension-wise) in the Totem-browser plugin. Before that I had played a rather large HD-video with mplayer without a crash.
X is restarted by GDM and non-framebuffer console is *not* garbled after a crash. I run standard Compiz with the settings that are enabled by default in Hardy.
