Does anybody know of any way to get better error messages? Or just have it
throw an exception with some more context information? This is probably
not the fault of PyOpenGL, but it's the way OpenGL/Mesa works. 

I'm quite sure that all recent versions of Mesa (as Frank most likely
uses) have the glTexCoordPointer() function, so the error (again, I think)
is somewhere when PyOpenGL talks to Mesa?
