That's from libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_dri.so Is that package installed? It's usually a Recommends, not a Depends, so you might not.

Sounds like an incomplete installation of the NVIDIA driver. Or possibly a system update was performed post–driver installation.
The NVIDIA driver ships its own version of libGL that is incompatible with the Mesa version shipped by default with your distro. I wouldn't expect the NVIDIA–shipped libGL to be trying to load anything nouveau–related.
If you install the driver from repositories (e.g. apt-get install nvidia-driver) then this is all handled for you with update-alternatives, but if you manually install a driver from nvidia.com you run into all sorts of problems like the above.
That system has never had a non-free driver installed or attempted to be installed.

It wouldn't surprise me *at all* if steam never works with nouveau.

New theory: you have the nouveau_dri.so for amd64, but not for i386, and steam is all 32-bit.

Sounds like an incomplete installation of the NVIDIA driver. Or possibly a system update was performed post–driver installation. The NVIDIA driver ships its own version of libGL that is incompatible with the Mesa version shipped by default with your distro. I wouldn't expect the NVIDIA–shipped libGL to be trying to load anything nouveau–related. If you install the driver from repositories (e.g. apt-get install nvidia-driver) then this is all handled for you with update-alternatives, but if you manually install a driver from nvidia.com you run into all sorts of problems like the above.
