I can reproduce this with a Nvidia card as well by just running
alarm-clock. I don't think it's specific to the Intel cards. It's not
a hard lockup, I can still move the mouse and the keyboard is
responsive; I can still switch to a console and kill it to unfreeze X.
I've also noticed that I get this same exact kind of "soft" lockup
when running strace on just about any arbitrary application. I've been
trying to get an strace on Nautilus for another issue and almost every
time I run strace, X goes into one of these soft lockups and I have to
go to a console to kill the application.
