This seems to be related to this issue over at the glutin repository: https://github.com/tomaka/glutin/issues/834 They seem to have fixed this just yesterday! I will try to update the dependencies in https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/glutin_window to see if that solves it.
I was able to fix this by updating the dependencies in a fork of https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/glutin_window/ to use the latest version from the https://github.com/tomaka/glutin repository instead of the crates.io version.
So I guess one would have to wait for the glutin guys to release a new version to crates and then update the dependency in https://github.com/PistonDevelopers/glutin_window/ accordingly (or just always use the latest version?).
