Adding some information from the downstream bug. It is with gnome 2.27, mutter 2.27.0, clutter 1.0.0 and clutter-gtk 0.10.2 on Mandriva Cooker. Mutter does not display anything but a background and prevents Gnome to start for the user. In .xsession-errors, this is included:

Window manager warning: Log level 16: NOTE: Not using GLX TFP!

Already fixed, I'll do another tarball release shortly. (2.27.0 is even older than the last one, but this problem was in 2.27.1 as well - it only affects mutter by itself and not mutter as used with gnome-shell or Moblin.)
