Oh.  Yeah, that's the problem.  Like I mentioned in one of the comments on that
bug, "the problem is that GEN4 can't do filtering on 32-bit float formats." 
Your GM45 is GEN4.  We could either not support floating point textures at all,
or we can give 16-bit formats when the application asks for GL_RGBA32F.  It's
one of those "all solutions are bad" situations.

I think if you query GL_TEXTURE_RED_SIZE it will tell you the number of bits
actually used by the implementation.  Skimming Mesa code, I'm pretty sure it
will return 16 if GL_RGBA16F was used and 32 if GL_RGBA32F was used.

Can you try that?
