Intel integrated HD Graphics 3000 glitch

So, it's a known fact that the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 in the MacBook Air mid-2011 and low-end Mac Mini has driver issues (or something like that), and causes graphical glitches in games and the like. I mainly run into glitches in Minecraft, when at certain angles, items and mobs will have a black side. I've heard of some Blizzard OS X games having this problem.

I've experienced this particular glitch since OS X 10.7 Lion, up to the latest 10.7.2 update on my MacBook Air 13" (128GB SSD, Intel i5). Frankly, I'm surprised Apple and Intel haven't worked this thing out yet. Do any of you notice this glitch (where?), does it bother you, etc? I'm looking for general discussion: ideas, complaints, solutions.
