Okay, I've been trying to narrow it down so I recompiled vanilla cvs 
Mesa against the standard non xcb-ified xlibs.

1) glxgears using Xorg 6.8.2 and NVidia drivers: no problem.
2) glxgears using Xorg 6.8.2 libs and Mesa: no problem.
3) glxgears using xlibs from cvs with XCB enabled: error.
4) glxgears using xlibs from cvs with XCB enabled and Mesa: error.
5) glxgears using xlibs from cvs with XCB enabled and NVidia drivers: error.

This is with Mesa compiled against Xorg 6.8.2 xlibs in /usr/X11R6/lib. 
My xlibs --with-xcb is in /opt/fdo/lib.  And 'using' above means 
modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to /opt/fdo/lib or nothing at all.  I 
used ldd `which glxgears` after each LD_LIBRARY_PATH change to verify. 
The assertion failure only seems to happen while using X11 with XCB 
support enabled :(
