OK, thanks for checking.  I guess the next step is to bisect the
differences between Mesa 18.0.5 and 18.1.1.

You can use `guix build --with-source=/path/to/mesa/checkout mesa` in
order to use `git bisect` along with Guix.

Right.  It would be great if someone could confirm this bug with another
supported driver.  But I suppose a bisect will tell us the answer.
