shows display corruption

I had this issue on linux-3.12.0-rc2 and thought it had been fixed
in linux-3.12.0-rc3, but it just happened again.

I dock my laptop after using it for two days undocked.
The resume is normal, and I start the netork.

I enabled the second monitor with 
    xrandr --output LVDS-1 --auto
    xrandr --output DP-2 --auto
    xrandr --output DP-2 --primary --output LVDS-1 --right-of DP-2 

Both displays are funky -- parts of windows in blocks are displayed all over,
like in the attached picture.

I attempt to switch back to one monitor  
    xrandr --output LVDS-1 --primary --output DP-2 --off 
    xrandr --fb 1600x900 

The second monitor turns off, but the primary display is still messed up.

If I stop Xorg, and it restarts, the following messages are in the kernel log

I found https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69982 
which suggests booting with nouveau.config=NvMSI=0 

I haven't tried it yet, as I've been currently running under 
boot parameter nouveau.noaccel=1, and the system hasn't crashed yet.
