Sorry, upstream explicitly don't want bug reports for cards older than nv30 (yours is nv18, current is ~nv120): http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MesaDrivers/

Changing the error message (at http://sources.debian.net/src/mesa/10.3.2-1/src/mesa/drivers/dri/nouveau/nv10_render.c/#L104 ) to something more useful, e.g.

- assert(0);
+ assert(0 && "This application requires GLdouble vertex buffers, which your graphics card does not support. Try software rendering (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 <application>).");

is probably about all that is reasonable to do as a Debian/Ubuntu patch.
