Can it be the case that the flatpak environment conflicts with the 'real' libraries/drivers somehow? Is there something I can try to fix this?

Hi,

Yes, it looks like it may be an issue related to flatpak and the
proprietary Nnvidia drivers.

A very similar issue (if not the same) was reported previously here:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219456

Check the comments on it to see if something of what is wrote there
helps to debug the issue.
