It's sounding like there's something in x11/xf86-video-intel, or at
least that seems to be the common thread.

You could:

1: Delete the existing driver and install the old one and see what that does.

http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/x86_64/DragonFly-3.2/stable/All/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1nb6.tgz
http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-3.2/stable/All/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1nb6.tgz

(pick the appropriate link for your architecture, 32 or 64 bit)

or, 2:

Switch to the vesa driver in xorg.conf and see if the problem goes
away (probably an easier test.)

If the problem goes away when you switch to vesa, it's the driver.  If
it goes away when you switch to the older version of the driver, it's
the current version of the driver.  If it doesn't go away, I'm not
sure...
