well, there is no actual GLX on 99.9% of the ARM SoCs, so as you noticed
it only does SW rendering in that case. the config comes from nvidia and
was taken into the package directly. indeed upstream cant assume that
you have mesa's GLX installed and working in your distro so they simply
disabled GLX completely. would you mind filing a bug about that ? i'll
happily make the config change.

btw, to actually test the accelerated 3D stuff with GLES, use es2gears
or glmark2-es2, both are preinstalled on the nexus7 image (together with
the es2_info tool, the equivalent to glxinfo)

ciao
