Latest Geforce drivers (378.49) prevents Minecraft from launching

The currently WHQL Geforce drivers, 378.49, cause Minecraft to fail to launch. The application will open to a black screen, and use a high amount of CPU percentage. The profile output loops with the following error:

[Client thread/ERROR]: ########## GL ERROR ##########
[Client thread/ERROR]: @ Post render
[Client thread/ERROR]: 1286: Invalid framebuffer operation

Downgrading back to the previous WHQL release, 376.33, resolves this issue.
