Awesome thanks.  What's going on here is that previously when you had
AIGLX off, the system was using software rendering, which works but is
very slow (and probably processor intensive) since it is all done in
software.  Compiz refuses to run with software rendering just as a
matter of principle, so that's why it wasn't working.  3D games may work
but will be *very* slow.

Now, you've got hardware acceleration enabled, but for some reason it is
buggy.  Now the compiz wrapper script actually allows the compiz.real
binary to start, but it craps out due to a (real) driver bug.  You may
find other 3D applications also fail during startup.

The good news is now we have something we can forward upstream.
