The error states do disappear into a black hole during the execution of
a 3DPRIMITIVE. The similarity between the two appear that the WM kernel
loaded for the 3DPRIMITIVE both appear to be recently bound, and were
the last kernels to be bound in the batch. Coincidence? Maybe, the
INSTDONE in both cases is again the same highly unusual condition
suggesting that the EU died.  However, both error-states also suggest
that a fresh surface was uploaded for the same 3DPRIMITIVE - but I'm
having to guess since the error-state doesn't include the auxiliary
state for me to check. One thing you can try is SNA, which packs its
batches differently with the advantage that more auxiliary state is
included in the error-state. It also packs all the kernels into a
single buffer which will reduce the frequency at which it is paged
out/in. So if you can reproduce with SNA (use Option "AccelMethod"
"SNA" in a device section of your xorg.conf snippet) I expect the
error-state to be quite different and hopefully shed some more light on
the issue.
