I have csup's my entire source this afternoon and rebuilt world. Funnily 
enough, my system now shows as 7.2-PRERELEASE

[alex@desktop /usr/home/alex]$ uname -a
FreeBSD desktop.xor.net 7.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.2-PRERELEASE #6: Fri 
Mar 20 17:16:12 EST 2009     
root@desktop.xor.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/custom  amd64

I also updated my radeonhd driver from git and recompiled+reinstalled 
it. It seems there have been some fixes for this driver over the last week:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/

Much the same issue persists, please see the screenshot:
