@InmanInman: Did this occur today? Were you running an up-to-date Steam at the time? Valve released an update to Steam just last Friday (Feb 8th) that fixed some texture corruptions that occurred with the Intel driver. Also, do you seem to be able to easily reproduce the issue?
yes it happened today, yes it was up to date. I will see if I can reproduce it and report back
Ok, I can sort of reproduce it it seems. The map is gg_simpsons_arena_iii, and this only happens with the two crates in this position on this symmetrical map.
Now what do I mean by sort of: When I get killed and I do free view, the texture of the crate disappears when I "leave" the map, i.e. when i zoom behind a wall so that I am outside of the player reachable area. That's not quite the same thing i experienced on the actual server, but close enough maybe?
Here's some screenshots:

being partially "inside" it:

It's a bug with that map. It does this on Windows and the Mac as well, it isn't just a Linux problem. You need to take this up with the map's author.
Nothing extracted yet.
I was playing a gungame server, when suddenly the texture of one of the crates went absent:
