You have both discovered the reason that Unity 3D was blacklisted on these cards in the first place. Unfortunately NVIDIA's driver is a locked box and we can't see inside it to determine the problem. You could try reporting a bug to NVIDIA about this issue. Alternatively you could install the open-source nouveau driver, which is rapidly improving.
