The problem is that if something like this happens in OpenGL mode, we can do almost nothing. OpenGL is to 99% a pass through, so the app calls the driver directly. We do not have the chance to alter anything if the driver doesn't like what the app is doing. So your best bet is to file a bug at ATI concerning this.
But can you try d3d mode? In the past, the ATI drivers preferred that over WoW's OpenGL renderer.
Ati's drivers are still very buggy. In various situations they even fall back to software rendering. In some cases the xorg.conf option 'UseFastTLS=2' can do miracles. It is important to find a testcase in which you can produce the problems. And then submit a bugreport to ati.cchtml.com (it is ati's unofficial bugzilla; all bugs are forwarded to ati and they really do something with them)
