The JVM should also be dumping a stack trace that shows how pthread_mutex_lock is getting invoked -- we'd need to look at that to see what's going on here (for example, whether it's your code doing the locking or JOGL's code).

I used JOGL 2 inside Eclipse RCP all day long today, so I know for sure it works  However, I haven't tried with IcedTea on Ubuntu, so there could be some strangeness there too.
