I guess it's possible fglrx left the EGL stack messed up... If you start
Xorg with the environment variable EGL_LOG_LEVEL=debug, there should be
some more information about that in its stderr output.

It looks like it could be a bug in libepoxy0. It would be great if you
could get a backtrace with gdb, ideally with
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libepoxy.so.0 rebuilt to have debugging symbols.
