My FirePro V5700 ceased to work with the fglrx driver with the exact same update, in the exact same way, as described here, and has the same underlying chip as Radeon HDs known to be affected.

The AMD website is hardly a shining example of consistency - there's an 8.982 Linux driver offered for the FirePro V5700 at http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx if you select "Workstation Graphics" and "FirePro Performance Pre-WHQL Driver".

The weight of evidence is certainly sufficient to convince me that it's all one issue. If AMD ever come up with a driver that supports the Radeon HD [234]xxx on X server 1.13 but does not support my FirePro, I'll reconsider.
