I'm closing this issue because after numerous updates the issue is gone. I
can't exactly tell what fixed it, I've tested this right after a couple updates
of the nVidia driver and of OpenJDK to no avail, but after other seemingly
unrelated system updates today it seems to work. For the record I'm answering
the last questions on this thread with information from a couple weeks ago (I
got to answer the questions, but never to try the open source Nouveau driver,
so I never posted my answers until now).

Indeed. And when I enabled OpenGL in Sun's JRE I hit this bug, which might
indicate, as you suggested, problems with the nVidia driver series 260:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=156264

However, I couldn't figure out how to disable OpenGL in IcedTea. 
-Dsun.java2d.opengl=false didn't seem to do the trick, and
-Dsun.java2d.opengl.fbobject=false also didn't help workaround the crashes.

According to mount, /tmp is mounted with the exec flag. I also verified this by
running a script from that directory.
