For the curious, this issue occurs due to an in NVIDIA's binary driver implementation of GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension - see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=77248#edit1003304 : "This is a shortcoming of the current implementation of GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap in the drivers. When video RAM has been exhausted, the driver does not behave well (you get blank windows). TurboCache memory is currently cannot be used with GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, so these problems will be especially noticeable on these parts. We're working on improving these cases."
