To make this easier I've now written a minimal sample program which
shows the issue. Here it is:

#include <SDL.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	SDL_Window *window;	
	SDL_Renderer *renderer;
	SDL_Texture *texture;
	SDL_Event se;
	int quit = 0;
	int bufferwidth = 1920, bufferheight = 1080;
	char *pixbuf = malloc(bufferwidth * bufferheight * 4);

	SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
	SDL_VideoInit("RPI");

	window = SDL_CreateWindow("Foo", 0, 0, bufferwidth, bufferheight, SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN);
	renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, 0);
	texture = SDL_CreateTexture(renderer, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_ARGB8888, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_STREAMING, bufferwidth, bufferheight);

	memset(pixbuf, 0, bufferwidth * bufferheight * 4);
	SDL_UpdateTexture(texture, NULL, pixbuf, bufferwidth * 4);	
	SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, texture, NULL, NULL);
	SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);

	SDL_ShowWindow(window);
	SDL_RaiseWindow(window);

	while(!quit) {

		SDL_PumpEvents();

		while(SDL_PollEvent(&se)) {
			if(se.type == SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN) quit = 1;
		}
	}	
	
	SDL_DestroyTexture(texture);
	SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
	SDL_DestroyWindow(window);

	SDL_Quit();
	
	free(pixbuf);

	return 0;
} 

I've also prepared a package containing a ready-to-run binary as well as my
build of SDL 2.0.4 for the Pi. This can be downloaded from here:
http://www.softwarefailure.de/tmp/sdltest.tar.gz

The archive also contains a build script.

Any help appreciated.
