It would seem that there is a notable difference in how the 32bit version of the driver and the 64bit version operate and even what media acceleration is reported to be supported in glxinfo.  I understand that if you are running 64bit you will have all those features automatically, but it is still nice to see it there.  I wonder if there might be a bug here.  It seems that your card supports TCL and you still suffer that problem, so it's isn't TCL causing it then.  I also noticed that you are using an Intel chipset motherboard; mine is ATI/AMD chipset based, so that eliminates the motherboard as well.  You aren't even using ubuntu kernel sources.  That leaves the only commonality being the ATI video and 64bit arch.
Have you tried a 32bit LiveCD to see if it still has the problem.  I haven't had an opportunity to do that yet.  I am downloading a desktop LiveCD of Karmic to test it out.  We may be noticing a strange bug that is brought on by the 64bit arch.   If that is the case, I may be leaving the 64bit world soon.  There has been no advantages for my hardware and plenty of regressions.
