GNOME 3.20 crashes with NVIDIA propriety driver

[Emblem Parade]

I'm using the staging PPA on Xenial, which works fine for me on all my
other computers that use Intel GPUs. But, for my one machine that has an
NVIDIA GPU, it doesn't. I tried using drivers version 364 and 367 with the
same result. Doing a ppa-purge solves the problem, so it works fine with
3.18.

What happens is that after a few minutes of use, GNOME Shell crashes and I
get the terminal screen with a few systemd outputs.

I think the issue is this bug, which has been patched upstream:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764898
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome
-shell/commit/?id=5226d8b0864fa894f180b8584e837aaf565578b2

Is it possible for someone to rebuild and push to the PPA with this patch?
It would affect a lot of NVIDIA proprietary driver users!

(I do know 3.20 is not officially supported, but I hope this bug report
will help maintainers. Happy to help in any way I can with testing.)

Here are a few examples of journalctl logs for the moment of failure, to
help people searching for these errors find this post:
