Your terminology is a bit mixed up.  GLUT is a window system toolkit 
that can be used with Mesa or any other OpenGL implementation.  It is 
not an alternative to Mesa.

I suspect that when you're using GLUT you're using the native OpenGL 
library on MacOS.  Printing the value of glGetString(GL_VENDOR) in your 
code would probably clear that up.

That said, I don't know why you're seeing different results.  I took a 
quick look at your code.  The only thing that seemed a bit off was the 
different wrap modes for the S/T texcoords:

     glTexParameteri( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT        )
     glTexParameteri( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE );
