To clear up - 
1. This bug was filed by running apport -cli from a tty, saving the report, then filing that report  from a recovery boot
(if there is a better way to use apport from a tty tell me.

2. The kernel version is *irrelevant*, compiz fails with any kernel inc.
going back to 3.13.x when xserver-xorg-video-intel  is at
2:2.99.914-1~exp1ubuntu1

3. Compiz works fine with any kernel when xserver-xorg-video-intel is at
xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.99.910-0ubuntu1

4. This bug is only being filed on Intel Haswell Mobile, in my case on a
Lenovo 510p

5. If I install xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.914-1~exp1ubuntu1 on a
trusty install then there is no issue with compiz, so this only occurs
on utopic.

6. I don't believe this issues jerrylamos is seeing are the same, as
I've stated the kernel doesn't matter, this is not  a 'sometimes' thing
& reverting the intel xserver package immediately  & completely resolves
either thru a reboot or a stop/restart of lightdm/re-login
