It's quite similar to that, just more severe! In my case, when I open the 'activities' menu, there are square and triangular lines spread all over and almost none of the icons render correctly. Another thing worth pointing out is that applications are not affected by it. Most of the applications I ran (Nautilus, GIMP, Gnome Terminal, Application Settings) rendered correctly. The problem mainly affects the panel on the top, the calendar view that opens up from there (like the one in your picture) and the 'activities' menu. I'm downloading the Fedora live image, once it is done, I'll boot up and share some screenshots. I guess that'll provide a better idea of it.
