I described a bit my setup in the old message. I'll just add that I've
used the latest version at that time of the NVidia driver and VMD
alpha/beta version which supported "VMDPREFERSTEREO" - with the NVidia
drivers, setting this variable is a must. I did not try other
stereo-capable OpenGL programs.

But in my (pretty limited) testing, I did not observe the same effect when
not using the stereo enabler (the Quadro card that I've used offered me
the option of connecting the IR emitter directly...)

Yeah, but NVidia drivers too ? Until Dr. White's message, I thought that
the glitches that I've seen come from the NVidia driver when set for
"Blueline" mode. Being only 2 cases now, I can still consider this being
a coincidence, but it lets me wondering if something else (maybe a
combination of factors) is the root of the problem...
