I had the same problem. I fixed it by using a 24-bit depth buffer instead of the default, which is 16 bits (so selecting a 16-bit depth buffer won't make any difference). I used

myGlSurfaceView.setEGLConfigChooser(8,8,8,8,24,0);

Incidentally I had the same problem, with effectively the same solution, on iOS (my code is a portable map renderer, so I need it to run on lots of platforms). The iOS fix was to call

self.drawableDepthFormat = GLKViewDrawableDepthFormat24;

in the init function of my GLKView-derived class.
