In the first screenshot, I can see that the dash misrenders. But I can't spot anything out of the ordinary in the other 3. Do you mind highlighting the corruption?

on 31:27 you can see the desktop icons going over dash
on 30:12 was the most annoying case of alt+tab leaving the window selector in the screen
on 30:53 dash faded partially, leaving the borders
on 31:06 again with the Selector engraved in the screen

Ah, thanks - I actually thought those were genuine stages of unity doing its animation. I'm thinking this is more likely unity at this point...

Can we narrow down the reproduction scenario? Can you test with different combinations of monitors (internal only, external only, some other device than the TV?)? Different resolutions? Different session managers (e.g. gnome-shell, KDE, etc)?

If this is fixed by 2.21.14 then I can tell you what the problem was... a bug in the xserver with missing DRI2 InvalidateNotifies.
