This bug also affects Mac OS 10.9.4
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M is affected too.
Turning off Advanced Open GL fixed this for me.
Same Issue Here.
I have a mac running 10.9.4 and java 7 update 60
I have also found that moving the resource packs allows the game to start (Thanks Calvin)
Same Issue Here.
I have a mac running 10.9.4 and java 7 update 60, so I can confirm its cross platform.
Note on the bug info: it would be more accurate and easier to find, for this bug to be put down as affecting Minecraft not the Minecraft Launcher. Also then it can be put down as affecting 14w27b in the Affects Version/s.
Thank you Keybounce you beat me to the post.

I'll just link to it as its quite long:

I really hope this counts as "If you can make alternatives for all the existing structures we might consider it", and that at the very least this bug will get an in-game workaround.
