This seems be fixed in the latest nvidia-current release:
nvidia-graphics-drivers (304.43-0ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low
* debian/rules:
- Add support for X ABI 13.
* New upstream release (LP: #1037483):
- Added support for the following GPUs:
o GeForce GTX 660 Ti
o Quadro
I tested with the 304.43 edgers package and the new drivers do fix the
crash with these applications, as well as with the Unity and other 3D
desktops.
