For what it's worth, we have not had problems with nvidia-304 on more
recent GPUs, so I'd be inclined to blame the hardware (maybe that
generation, maybe the integrated type like you mentioned) sooner than
the driver. But you're right that blacklisting the older driver would
probably eliminate the entire class of problems :)

Title:
  Compiz high CPU and UI freeze on NVIDIA after fix for #269904 in
  trusty-updates

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Immediately after the fix for #269904 landed in trusty-updates via
  compiz 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20150122-0ubuntu1, my 14.04 machine with an
  NVIDIA card and using the nvidia-304 driver became unusable -- symtoms
  include compiz process high CPU (100%), UI freeze right after logging
  in (machine still up, reachable via SSH from the network), and a flood
  of these messages on the system log:

  I do not experience any problems if I downgrade to the previous compiz
  version that was available in trusty-updates
  (1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20141104-0ubuntu1).
