Just some further confirmation of this issue.

On a Sandy Bridge i5 Dell Latitude e6420 laptop with Intel HD 4000
integrated graphics. On 3.5.0-26-generic I experienced GPU hangs once or
twice an hour (fixed themselves after a few seconds) and full lockups 2
to 5 times per day, depending on what I was doing (have to hard reboot
the machine to recover). Having firefox open seemed to be a risk factor,
and if FF had loaded flashplayer, I expected a full lockup at any
moment.

As described in the following bug, which is a similar issue...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-
intel/+bug/1041790 ... I added the following to my /etc/default/grub
options:

i915.semaphores=0

This decreased the frequency and severity of lockups/crashes, but they
were still there. Upon further investigation, I found this bug to be the
actual issue (my syslog showing the same 3 lines as the others in this
thread), and have reverted to 3.5.0-25-generic and have been running
without any issues for a day or two now. I still have i915-semaphores=0
in my grub boot options but don't think I still need that...
