I fear there is a driver bug. When I started with the 8bit code there was a bug in the nvidia driver of that time for my geforcefx. I don't remember what driver version I was using at that time.
What you could do to test it is to download the mesa source code and compile it. Then set the library path to point to the compiled mesa library and try to run starcraft. If it works (sure, it will be slow) it is a driver bug (you can play a bit with it to verify it).
