Is that really a (recent) regression? It sounds like Bob's only getting things working for the first time, and I can't see any mention of a previous working kernel version.
Anyway, might be worth following up on this on the dri-devel list with more information, e.g. the dmesg output and Xorg.0.log corresponding to the freeze.
Has KMS or recent mesa even been tested on Alpha? If anything it seems like it's probably a mesa bug rather than a kernel bug as it seems to lock up when the desktop effects are loaded.
