I confirm that I also encountered similar DEM loading issues, with QMS 
as well as QLGT, due to incompatibilities with GDAL (under OpenSuSE). 
Actually, IIRC, there are two ways to support GeoTIFF with GDAL : 
internal or external (with libgeotiff). In my case, GDAL was not 
directly the problem: I was actually using an incompatible libgeotiff, 
which was provided in different versions depending on the package 
repository being used.
