Alright. Call for help then: Anyone else have a Windows 7 machine with
Intel graphics? Would be great if someone could reproduce.

I could put up my build of the test case as a self-contained .zip, to
make it easy to test.

Hm, but it works fine if I don't use QVTKOpenGLWidget, and just use a
plain vtkRenderWindow + vtkRenderWindowInteractor. Wouldn't that
suggest that the drivers are capable enough, and that the problem is
somehow in QVTKOpenGLWidget (or QOpenGLWidget)?
