Interesting effect, I also have never seen this on my AMD64 hardware.

The effect reminds me of what you get when the GL texture unit is not 
correctly set up (blending is not enabled or set up wrong) so you do not 
see the glyphs but rather their surrounding "bounding boxes".

Since it only affects a certain subset of fonts it seems to rely on a 
specific precondition. Maybe you could narrow it down by comparing 
between the working and nonworking states?
