Not sure if they are related. Note that the issue I mention gets fully
solved with glTextureBarrier and additionally, it happens on haswell too.

In any case, reading that bug gave me an idea. I have been toying with
MESA_DEBUG=flush (that until your email I didn't know that exists).
Looking at the code, it adds the equivalent to a glFlush after each
drawing call. Using it gets the test (all 48 subtests) passing. So right
now Im more biased to think that is an issue on glTextureBarrier.
