(Get the code!)
Whatever the precise effect, this is a reproducible (just open enough windows - often as few as 5 in a high resolution setting) and disasterous (it prevents any reasonable use of the OS). It appears to have been an on-off problem with Compiz with nvidia for years and years. This needs a high priority fix to make compiz usable on the large number of nvidia card based systems.
I also note, in case it is a help, that once the memory limit has been bumped into (i.e. enough windows opened), then not only do windows black out but at every new open window the whole sceen flashes off very briefly. This only happens when the memory limit is reached.
