Just this Friday I got around to testing compiz 0.9.8.6 on Gentoo (mesa
upgrades did not help), and it fixes this bug for me. Unfortunately
0.9.8 on Gentoo has issues with several plugins not working correctly
(e.g. place windows not working at all, all windows open at top left
corner), so I'll have to revert to 0.8.8 as it works correctly with the
indirect rendering option (which 0.9.8 no longer appears to have).

BTW, this is what I use after login to check whether the bug has gone
away. I have xterm with white background and visual bell, and a
fast(ish) key repeat rate. I open xterm and hold a key to produce ~20
characters. then I hold the left key to go to the start of the line and
the visual bell flashes the background black a couple of times. Then I
hold the right key to go to the end of the line, and it is on this
return trip that the block cursor leaves black boxes on some of the
characters.
