This kind of problem seems to be similar to a very old and persistent bug where PyQt cannot create shaders when using the NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu (bug #941826).
This small script (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-qt4/+bug/941826/+attachment/3950419/+files/nvidia-python-qt-bug.py) demonstrates the problem and a workaround by "preloading" another opengl module. This really looks related, I don't see how though since the problem is way older and python is definitely linked to pthreads.
