Ok, I have a fresh 10.6.6 build and the updates ready to go, however...

I can't trigger the problem any more, I stopped using the OSX frontend because of this so had to get a fresh build and it seems to work fine on both Macs I have to hand! I have an i7 MBP with Nvidia (no longer latest spec!) and an older C2D MBP with ATI graphics.

If anyone knows a definite way to trigger this I'm ready to test it.
