I haven't tried it myself, but stupid question, did you remember to enable layer backed views? I've spent many years trying to get native controls to render on top of (non-SpriteKit) OpenGL and there's always something that goes wrong. In the past couple of years I shifted over to CAOpenGLLayer instead of NSOpenGLView. That also had a list of problems, but in the end (and after multiple Apple bug fixes), it was working much better for me. But I guess I should assume Apple didn't provide a SKLayer class.
