FYI I run RH 7.3, plib cvs, simgear cvs, fgfs cvs and base cvs, and use NVidia drivers and don't experience any of these problems. I suspect that your solutions are not entirely necessary, maybe when you upgraded you might have forgot that the XFree devel rpm probably sticks in a new libGL which was previously renamed by installing the NV rpms.
The documentation says that it's only necessary to install the NV GL includes if you want to use to quote ' NVIDIA OpenGL extensions'. I'm not sure that flight gear uses them.
