You were right, this seems nouveau related. I switched to the official nvidia driver and it is working.
But i am not sure if VGL_FORCEALPHA=1 would have fixed this. I remember trying that without success when i used nouveau since it was suggested here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualGL#Problem:_rendering_glitches,_unusually_poor_performance,_or_application_errors But i could be wrong.
