Dominik:
It's cool when you find a bug report that might help you fix a problem isn't it? :-)

Speaking as a random person on the Internet (I don't work for Canonical,
Intel etc), it's very unlikely that you can have a bug's priority raised
by asking (although subscribing/marking a bug as also affecting you is
useful as it makes it clear how many people are interested in a given
bug). The general reason is that while the bug may be massively
disruptive for you, there are finite resources to go into fixing
problems. If more people are seeing another issue just as major or more
significant in some manner, then it is likely the resources will be put
into solving that issue.

Of course, I would like to see this particular bug resolved too :). If
this turns out to be your issue (your card's id looks the same as others
that see this issue so chances are high), you can read further
discussion in the upstream bug report:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36326 .

To answer Ferry's question about why the fix works: one of the Intel
developers mentioned that this era of graphics cards have constraints
related to tiling and DebugWait disabled tiling entirely (but another
issue meant that "Tiling" "false" did not disable tiling(!)). It was
only in later versions of the X drivers that tiling was actually used
tiling, so that's why users with old Xorgs don't see this issue.
