Take a look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/57clur/cant_run_steam_on_ubuntu_1610/
It's for Mesa on Ubuntu 16.10, but can be helpful with 16.04 too.
In short, use steam from Ubuntu repos and tweak steam launcher script to remove broken libs.
Borderlands TPS (don't know for Borderlands 2) seems to work this way.
Could also be a problem on 16.04 because of an older mesa version.
LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose steamthen see if it outputs some library issue or so..
Anyway you should be able to run steam just by bypassing the libstdc++.so.6 library
Whether your Borderlands problem is related, I don't know. Maybe it has a totally different reason and of course, a different solution.

Since you are using open source drivers, I suggest running it in wine with gallium nine. Much better performance.
