Using any F27 mesa package newer than 17.1.3-2.fc27 breaks some of the shaders used in GNOME. One example is the vignette shader in the gnome-shell overview [1]. With newer mesa packages the vignette is centered around the top left corner instead of the center of the screen. Another example is video playback in totem which uses clutter-gst [2]. Here all videos now have a pinkish hue. This happens using a intel GPU on X: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0126] (rev 09) I've tried manually building mesa 17.1.3 on a fully updated F27 system and this was resulting in broken shaders as well, so this is not due to changes in mesa itself, but due to changes in one of its build time dependencies. Installing mesa-17.1.5-1.fc26 on the same F27 system did not show any of these issue (mesa-17.1.5-1.fc27 did).

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 27 development cycle. Changing version to '27'.
The change resulting in this issue was somewhere in glibc. Installing glibc 2.25.90-7 or older and compiling mesa against it results in a working version. Updating to 2.25.90-12 or newer results in a broken mesa. There were no successfully built glibc packages between these two versions.
