This is not a driver bug; it's a regression caused by this change:

Some of the GLX stuff _was_ context-dependent, since the code doesn't mark FBConfigs as mipmap-aware unless the EXT_framebuffer_object extension is supported by the GL context. However, uses of glGenerateMipmapEXT() throughout the runtime code are also adequately guarded by GL::fbo checks, so it should be safe to remove that particular check rather than moving the code back. The attached patch should fix all related issues.

I'm not able to reproduce the bug as I don't have such a card, but there's a patch available, and should be better to try it before closing the bug report.
