That is strange, as nothing related to path search has changed. The 
drivers are configured by passing --with-dri-searchpath pointing to 
/run/opengl-driver{,-32} (depending on your platform). I even verified 
that the source still uses the the path on dlopen. The link should be 
setup when starting X server (nixos does that).

More info from logs could help.

These errors are just on stdenv-updates, not x-updates.

Are you sure you were testing x-updates and not stdenv-updates? 
(Although there was no change around these things either AFAIK.)
