I can reproduce it here on a Kubuntu 14.04 laptop.  The shaderInfoLog on 
Intel driver may not be generated (compilation may not actually occur) 
until use-time (some drivers do not actually compile until use of the 
shader occurs).  You're seeing a failure to compile and that's causing 
this message to be generated:

     ['0:2(42): error: syntax error, unexpected IDENTIFIER, expecting 
EOL\n', 'error: linking with uncompiled shader']

where the linking with uncompiled shader is the proximate failure, while 
the previous one is the provoking failure. I just added a try/except 
around the call and called glGetShaderInfoLog for all of the program and 
shader ids.

Hope that helps,
Mike
