Is this fixed in any Mesa version? If you know what fixed it, you can
file a bug asking for the fix to be applied to Debian Jessie as well.
Whether the request will be accepted or not depends on how feasible it
is to backport the whole set of fixes (let's hope it is a bunch of
trivial one-liners ;-) ) to the version of Mesa in Debian Jessie.

Looks like a bug in CoGL as well, you might want to report that one too.
Sorry, I can't help with this other than suggest using something else
than gnome while you try to get this sorted out.
