A dirty hack to get rid of the screen corruption is:
xrandr -s 1280x1024
xrandr -s 1920x1080
To switch away from, and back to, my native resolution.

Another "same problem". Firefox 4 beta 12 (32-bit) with Flash 10.2 r152, 64-bit Nvidia 260.19.36
An alternate way to clear the overlay is with CTRL-ALT-F2 (to get to a terminal) then ALT-F1 (for Fedora, others use ALT-F7) to return to X.

the latest nvidia driver upgrade to 260.19.44-1 appears to have fixed the overlay issue for me...

I too had this issue with the GeForce 8400 GS, nvidia 260.19.44 64 bit driver, Firefox 4 RC1 and the 10.2 adobe flash plugin.
Upgrading to flashplugin 10.3 solved the overlay issue. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32072
Now the flash plugin just crashes everytime I change video in utube, leaving me to refresh the new video page each time. No problems with changing videos on bbc iplayer site though.
Also, I would not recommend enabling VAPAU with flash unless you have a video card more powerful than mine, as I experienced a horrible graphics coloured snow crash.

Same thing here.

With Nvidia 270.30 beta the problem remains.

Same problem with flashplugin 10.3 beta from AUR and Nvidia 270.30.

I've no problem with 260.19.44 on two nvidia gpu systems.
Instead, 270.30 has several issues with youtube in fullscreen when "enable hardware acceleration" is ticked:
-Video on youtube strongly flickers when other elements like user notes, video controls appears
-Flash plugin crashes when exiting fullscreen
-If, in firefox, flashblock is enabled, video on youtube stays black
-When exiting from firefox while the video is playing you still see it being painted over the black areas of the screen, even under the text.
-If i have compositing enabled and in fullscreen i rightclick on the desktop, the system becomes unresponsive, and killing the plugin someway is needed.
Question is: why arch is pushing in a beta driver?

Same here.
Downgrading to 10.1.102.65-1 solved it.
flashplugin-10.2.159.1-2 - gives it for me.
nvidia drivers version - 270.41.06-1

I had the problem with flashplugin 10.3.181.14-1 (and 10.3.181.14-2) and nvidia 270.41.06-1. Removing flashplugin using "pacman -Rdd" and installing flashplugin-prerelease32 via yaourt from AUR fixed the issue (this version of flash throws up a harmless pop-up warning in Chrome every once in a while but works fine).

I'm going to try lib32-flashplugin-prerelease as flashplugin-prerelease32 wasn't for 64 bit, but I have this also, with flashplugin 10.3.181.26-1. It randomly started happening today. This morning I had watched youtube videos with no problem, and now I have the whole overlay thing and it sometimes crashes chromium. I don't know if it happened after a reboot or upgrade or not...
Edit: I can't use that. I get:
You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
Download it from Adobe.
when I attempt to watch videos on youtube. I am on arch64 if that matters and have nspluginwrapper installed.
Edit: overlay issue is even worse after upgrade to 10.3.181.34-1 and I cant disable hardware acceleration. It is commented out in mms.cfg, but I can't uncheck it under settings after right-click on flash object. It just freezes.
