Most likely the blob defaults to a mode different from ours, could you attach Xorg logs from both nouveau and nvidia?

IIRC the blob usually doesn't print out any timings, so you'll have to run your X server with some high verbosity level, like:
# Xorg -logverbose 7

This has been determined to be due to a difference in the default mode between nvidia and nouveau, and is being pursued on the upstream bugtracker.

The upstream kernel patch looks pretty safe to me. Probably should get this proposed to the kernel team.
