MLAA seems to be doing exactly as under Windows. I saw the same thing with Catalyst on Windows 7 mostly in Messenger. See http://www.sevenforums.com/software/182520-msn-live-messenger-browser-proble..., http://www.sevenforums.com/software/182520-msn-live-messenger-browser-proble... and comments in http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/166423-text-looks-if-water-has-been...
So, for some reason, MLAA doesn't behave as expected with some applications (2D content where it "shouldn't")
When you turn on MLAA in your drirc, it applies to all 3D applications. If you are using a 3D compositor (compiz, gnome shell, kwin, etc.) as a window manager, it will also apply to X apps. If you want to enable MLAA you'll need to specify what apps you want it to apply to in your drirc.
