Possible bug in driver - machine "frozen" while panning

Description
I noticed a serious problem while trying to play OOlite ( http://www.oolite.org/ ) game:
When using "virtual desktop" (with panning), while trying to move/resize game window - or just to "pan" visible screen area - it locks whole system completely. Even "power off" button doesn't work, which is suggesting, that the system may be completely hung up (the title theme music drums are repeated in a short loop like kinda machine gun). I hadn't such behaviour formerly, when using NVidia with their "closed" drivers.
Slackware 14.1 32bit, X.Org X Server 1.14.3, kernel 3.17, OOLite 1.80
Output of my xrandr:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-0 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 473mm x 296mm panning 1680x1050+0+0
1680x1050 60.0 +
1280x1024 60.0
1440x900 59.9
1280x800 59.9*
1024x768 60.0
800x600 60.3 56.2
640x480 60.0
720x400 70.1
S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
Easy to reproduce:
- Start XWindow in "virtual screen" mode (the bug doesn't occur while not using virtual screen).
- Open game window.
- Try to pan visible screen area, or to move game window. Very soon lock-up occurs.
