I can reproduce this bug with this graphics card (with compiz & KMS): ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] [1002:4c66] (rev 01)
When I switch workspaces, rotate the cube or use Expo to view all workspaces the whole screen gets very dark – but the colours won't change (as described above).
