It looks like the problem is related to the Elite 3D graphics card.  I
will be releasing the 8.2.19 patch release to the dev cell tonight,
which upgrades the Elite 3D driver (including some OpenGL stuff).  I'd
appreciate if you could test with an 8.2.19 machine when it becomes
available.

(You can make sure that you have the right kind of Ultra 10 with
"machtype -d"; it should say "afb" on the private Ultra 10s you've
seen the problem on, and "ffb" on the cluster Ultra 10s.)
