Hi Linares, I believe the issue you are up against is pretty common for single threaded multi-context applications, each swap buffers being issued in a different frame. This behavior will vary across drivers so you may will see variations as you move your applications to different hardware/OS/drivers.
There is an OpenGL extension that supports syncronizing of swap buffers across multiple graphics contexts that allows you to assigns contexts to swap groups, the OSG itself doesn't utilize it, but you look into this. I'm afraid I can't recall the name of the extension off the top of my head. Robert.
