Is there any known fix to the dialog skipping bug? [mild spoilers]

I've been searching (unsuccessfully) for solutions to a little problem of mine and wonder if anyone on this board has a fix for the issue.

I have a problem with the game skipping through dialogues and cutscenes in a semi-random manner, with some dialogues being more prone to it than others.

The game just flashes through the instances where NPCs are supposed to be talking and take me to the point where I get to choose what to "say", and this bug persists for some time after which it might go away. Any FMV played while in "bug mode" will be silent.

Reloading and/or restarting the gaming sometimes help, but is not very satisfactory. Some of the instances where this happens more often than not are

- Mira and the whole or part of the dialogue after the death of Visquis
- Opening the door for Jorran on the enclave sublevel.

For what it's worth I run the game on a rig with Windows XP and an nvidia 6800GS graphics card.

Have you installed the latest patch? This has never occured to me.

I have patched the game to version 1.0b. I've found some mention of the problem on other (less active and older) forums but no solution. It is hard to troubleshoot since I cant reproduce the error reliably.
