Fixed the above error messages yesterday but they are benign and not
related to this bug.

I did however discover the same black flashing happens in the Unity
'system-settings' app when run through Xmir.

Title:
  Chromium browser in Xmir (in DRI2 mode): Page contents never visible
  (all white) and/or all black windows

Bug description:
  Chromium browser in Xmir (in DRI2 mode): Page contents never visible
  (all white) and/or all black windows

  DRI2 mode is the default mode for Xmir on desktop and it fails in
  similar ways for both rootless and non-rootless Xmir. In chromium-
  browser, fully loaded pages often display as all white. Or you get the
  whole window being black.

  In both cases for -rootless and non-rootless mode, using the software rendering fallback works around the problem:
     Xmir -sw
