I can confirm seeing this bug on:

# lspci -nnvvvs 00:02.0
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a42] (rev 07) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Looking through the changes from v3.8.2 to v3.8.3, there weren't really
that many suspects.  This partial (to avoid having to change any
following patches) revert of commit 2a98104 ("drm/i915: reorder setup
sequence to have irqs for output setup") fixes the problem for me.  I
have no idea why, so I leave it to Daniel and the other wise men working
on this driver to explain and cleanup :)
