This problem is unfortunately well known and has already been discussed on 
this list (or at least a related issue). It seems to be specific to the CTPCI 
and quite probably related to the VDI (not NVDI per se, rather the Radeon 
driver part). I mentioned this issue some time ago to Didier Méquignon, the 
author of the driver.

Yes, buggy VDI driver :-) I don't think the AES can do anything about this 
(unless someone tells us this works under TOS or MagiC?).
