Here is what I got in the gnome-shell log (~/.xsession-errors):

-----------------------------8<--------------------------------
gnome-session-is-accelerated: No hardware 3D support.
gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256
----------------------------->8--------------------------------

Here are some commands I ran on the host to gather some relevant info:

-----------------------------8<--------------------------------
$ glxinfo | grep ^direct
direct rendering: Yes

$ glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on softpipe

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep so$

If you need any further information to debug this issue, let me know how to get them I'll try to post additional comments here.

The driver wasn't able to load for some reason and fell back to software which I don't think worked well in early Gnome-shell. Doesn't look like any Mesa bug here to me.
