I am unable to reproduce on my laptop with Intel integrated graphics,
and I'm using the same i965 driver that your backtrace lists. I don't
know much about mesa either, but it could be that this is hardware
dependent since the assertion seems to be coming specifically from the
i965 driver.

Do you have a different video card you can test on?

Any difference when you run the test with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=y in
your environment?

I see this listed in the mesa upstream bug tracker:
