Fixed. The problem was caused by an NVIDIA driver change that greatly increased its stack usage -- a single function call inside the driver consumes 300 KB of stack! Increasing the JVM's C stack size with -Xss fixes the problem.

See the bug page at https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=513 for more details, and to laugh at how many bizarre and difficult things I tried before finding the (retrospectively obvious) answer .
