Thanks. I'm definitely interested to know what was causing. Just to be sure that we can avoid it in the future. Also please report any other problems or oddities if you encounter them (preferably to the bugtracker, and not to this mailing list). Using irc is also fine for quick questions, but my presence may be limited at the usual office hours or in the middle night (European time).
It turns out the reason is the file /usr/lib/libGLESv2.so , link to /usr/lib/libGLESv2.so.2 was missing , and that caused gles apps to fail silently (without exiting for not having fount the proper library)
So, the kind of error it does is strange indeed, but is solved
