Hmm, my first guess would be that your video driver is broken.  Object
collisions are calculated by reading the texture data with glGetTexImage(),
so if your driver doesn't return the texture data properly (maybe it
internally optimizes the data and doesn't properly restore it on read?),
collisions will end up bugged.  Those broken pillar textures in particular
have a lot of empty space in them, and the invisible walls you found look
like they're right at the corner of the texture box, which suggests to me
that glGetTexImage() isn't returning the right data.

One thing you could do to check this is add something like the following
to Game::fillGridFromQuad(), right after the glGetTexImage() calls (line
1941 in the current Icculus code):

	char buf[32];
	snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "/tmp/%u.pgm", id);
	FILE *f = fopen(buf, "w");
	fprintf(f, "P5\n%d %d 255\n", (int)w, (int)h);
	for (int i = 0; i < (int)w*(int)h; i++)
		fputc(data[i*4+3], f);
	fclose(f);

That'll write out the alpha data for each texture as a PGM image.  For the
first Energy Temple area (the one you took a screenshot in), you should
get 6 textures, and the alpha images should look like broken pillars and
rocks (there's also a 64x512 solid opaque one, which is the door texture).
If you see anything else, your video driver is broken.
