As you expected, the Oops is gone after applying the afforementioned patch, 3.13~ now behaves as 3.12 (it freezes, if X.org is started without a monitor attached).

The libdrm2 version is 2.4.49-2, which -although it has been compiled with gcc 4.8.2-5[1]- should be unaffected by this issue. According to the ChangeLog the version is at 7ddc98f92f92560e2b52287ae8cf816ca4a057de and no significant patches[2] have been applied.

Unfortunately this doesn't appear to have an effect, with 3.13~ and the previous patch applied:
# cat /sys/module/nouveau/parameters/agpmode 0
# init 5 [ 73.708490] nouveau W[ PTIMER][0000:01:00.0] unknown input clock freq system frozen.
