it seems that indeed xserver is at fault... I had already 7.1 version of
mesa-dri installed (and had the issue). then I apt-get install
xserver-xorg-core=2:1.5.1-1 xserver-xorg=1:7.4~3
xserver-xorg-video-intel=2:2.4.2-1 xserver-xorg-input-kbd=1:1.3.1-2
xserver-xorg-input-evdev=1:2.0.3-2 xserver-xorg-input-mouse=1:1.3.0-2
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics=0.15.0+git20080820-1

and now mayavi2 seems to render fine
