I've tried to do it myself but no big luck. 

GLX_EXT_tfp exists in GLX extensions:
GLX extensions:
    GLX_ARB_get_proc_address, GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_import_context,
    GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_MESA_allocate_memory,
    GLX_MESA_swap_control, GLX_MESA_swap_frame_usage,
    GLX_OML_swap_method,
    GLX_SGI_make_current_read, GLX_SGI_video_sync,
    GLX_SGIS_multisample,
    GLX_SGIX_fbconfig, GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
		    

But compiz still complains:
./compiz: No stencil buffer. Clipping of transformed windows is not going to be
correct when screen is transformed.
./compiz: glXBindTexImage failed
./compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x20000e to texture
./compiz: Failed to load image: background.png
./compiz: glXBindTexImage failed
./compiz: Couldn't bind redirected window 0x20000e to texture

according to sources, it looks like glXBindTexImageEXT function fails.

Ant this function most probably fails because of this check:

./src/glx/x11/glxcmds.c:2667

#ifdef GLX_DIRECT_RENDERING
    if (gc->isDirect)
            return False;
#endif
