Bugs, The system info automatically attached to my bug report describes the system "stable" that I installed from the same business-card image subsequent to the xorg failures and that allows me to report the bug. The failure with the "failed to load module "nv"" was with "unstable" and "testing."
My experience was perhaps a little unusual because in all cases I did a minimum install with no selected packages. That worked fine. The bug became evident when I used aptitude to install xorg xinit jwm menu menu-xdg and ran startx (on the command line). The same procedure that failed on unstable and testing worked fine on stable. Searching for help, I found that nv was not present by intent in unstable and testing, but nouveau was. The stable install automatically used nouveau and had nouveau in xorg.conf.new. That is why my suspicions are currently on the configuration table, "Device" section, in testing and unstable, if I can find it. Having been burned once, I'm not going to overwrite my working stable system again. I'll do a dual boot with unstable on another hard disk and go looking for my own solution, but that will take me a little while. (My new stable needs returned to full functionality first.) I thought you might be interested in a show-stopper for anyone trying testing or unstable on an NV5M64 card. It would help if I knew how the configuration table is produced, but I have no idea.
