Corrupted visuals in Gnome3 (A6-4400M)

Corrupted shell
On boot gdm3 looks fine (displays a list of users).
When i choose a user from the list, the animation plays out - and that's when the corruption starts (missing text and missing graphics).
I can still log in by typing the password.
Once logged in, gnome shell looks fine at first. Opening the Activities screen might cause minor corruption (for example, hovering over icons on the left panel might show corrupted selection rectangle fadein). Typing in the Activities screen always causes major corruption in visuals.
Only Gnome shell (top bar, Activities, window switcher) is affected. Applications continue to be drawn correctly.
Gnome shell reset (Alt+F2, r) cleans up corruption from the shell (completely or almost completely), but it quickly returns.
Tried changing radeon.gartsize on boot - no difference.
No errors on Xorg.log
No errors in dmesg
This is a regression (things used to work ~half a year ago)
