Thanks for the recommendations, I will see if I can update my driver (and the related packages) from 195.36.31-1 (current stable) to 280.13-1 (unstable).  If I don't see anything for a couple of months after the driver update I will try to post an update to this bug.

I see the following possibilities for further investigation:

* try to reproduce the problem without the non-free nvidia driver, if
this succeeds (i.e. the problem still exists) we can reassign the bug
back to xorg
* test with the current nvidia driver from testing (unfortunately we
don't have backports of the current nvidia driver, yet)
* wait until current nvidia drivers are available in backports
