Possible OpenGL bug with latest Catalyst driver for Radeon

strange thing with glEdgeFlagPointer

Hello!
I have strange problem with latest ATI drivers on Radeon 9550/X1100 Series (tested with Catalyst 8.7,8.6,8.5). I think that it is a driver problem because with very old drivers everything works fine (I tested with Catalyst 6.5 Release date: xx.xx.2006).

I wrote a test application and tested it on 2 PC's with Windows XP SP2 and Windows XP SP3. with Catalyst 8.7,8.6,8.5.  The problem repeats...

The problem:

First, I render a group of triangles with
glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK,GL_FILL) using GL_VERTEX_ARRAY,
then render the same triangles with glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK,GL_LINE) using GL_VERTEX_ARRAY and GL_EDGE_FLAG_ARRAY and here something strange happens...Some of triangles that must be filled with color won't draw at all.

Here is some screenshots:

This is a first frame of app...Last triangle must be filled with "teal", however, as you can see this is not true, it filled red.

This is one of another frames. Another strange thing...(detailes on screenshot).

Here is the source code of application (it is just a demo example):
I used glut 3.7.6. I dont think that this problem related with glut, I can rewrite this app using win32 api only if needed. (bad English...sorry...)

Source code:

The question is if it is a driver problem or am I doing something wrong? By the way, i tried this example on some NVIDIA cards (GeForce 9400 GT M and GeForce 8400 M GS) and everything works fine. I also tried Microsoft generic implementation it works fine to.

P.S. Please sorry for my awful English.
