I didn't have any problem with synaptic and multi-arch. Only with backports.
I think the "Force package version" uses the following syntax:
apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386/jessie-backports
which means: get this one package from backports and then try to install it with dependencies from stable repos. Thus leads to a possible broken system.
As said in manpage, the point of -t jessie-backports is to set a high priority to backports repos, and then fallback to stable ones. So backports repos are first checked, then if nothing available, check stable repos. A sort of one-shot pinning for this one command. Since steam needs specific driver dependencies and AnxiousInfusion has backported drivers, I thought it's much safe to enable backports repos and prioritize them over stable ones.

I was very excited to find updates for my Mesa driver enter Debian backports the other day. So I immediately upgraded from 11.1 to 12 and probably made a mistake by going through Synaptic package manager instead of apt. At first, all but two mesa packages upgraded due to held/broken. After a quick apt autoremove, I tried again and the remaining "libgl-mesa-dri" packages upgraded. One reboot later and Cinnamon is now running in software rendering mode. I think it dun broke.
Does Mesa 12 require a recent version of X11? Are there other packages needed for Mesa 12's new additions of Vulkan.. etc.?
I finally uninstalled and re-installed the Nvidia prop drivers, and it fixed everything.
Yours is a different story. Try to look at this post:
News for package mesa: Accepted mesa 12.0.3-1~bpo8+1 (source amd64) into jessie-backports
and check out if every new libs are installed in your system, amd64 + i386.
Since I don't know much about pure mesa, I won't be very helpful.

EDIT 11/27: Turns out, Mesa 12.0.3 backport was packaged incorrectly. Installation of libgbm1 and an upgrade to 12.0.4 has resolved the issue.
