nvidia-304xx 304.132 causes Plasma "unable to start"

When I upgrade nvidia-304xx to version 304.132, I cannot start Plasma anymore because I get this message:
"Plasma is unable to start as it could not correctly use opengl 2"
I had to put nvidia into the IgnorePkg array for now.
I have found many many hits in google for this error message, but none specific to my problem. Searching the forum did not help either. I really suspect it is an upstream bug, but maybe some of you have any ideas or a solution.

Thank you!
Great. I DID search from the package page with the "bug reports" link: https://bugs.archlinux.org/?project=1&c … idia-304xx
Why is the mentioned bug not listed in that search?

Because it's searching the "Packages: Extra" category where this is in the "Upstream Bugs" category.

UPDATE: I don't want to bump this post with just a simple "thank you", but on the other hand: Thank you Scimmia for your help.

UPDATE2: ... and I wanted to click on the "edit" link, not the "quote"... grr
