Whatever the precise effect, this is a reproducible (just open enough
windows - often as few as 5 in a high resolution setting) and
disasterous  (it prevents any reasonable use of the OS). It appears to
have been an on-off problem with Compiz with nvidia for years and years.
This needs a high priority fix to make compiz usable on the large number
of nvidia card based systems.

I also note, in case it is a help, that once the memory limit has been
bumped into (i.e. enough windows opened), then not only do windows black
out but at every new open window the whole sceen flashes off very
briefly. This only happens when the memory limit is reached.
