I need to look into how the xorg.conf's
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
affect this issue (this is the default setting in all Linux distros I ever
tried).
So I finally checked it. Yes, this is the culprit. For the flythrough NVIZ
navigation mouse controls to work correctly one needs to set:
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
in his X server config to prevent X server from interpretting the mouse
left+right buttons as the middle button. "Emulate3Buttons" "true" is often set
by deafult in various GNU/Linux distros. Is there a way for NVIZ to somehow
ignore this?

No. The only option is to change the NVIZ bindings so that it doesn't
require LMB+RMB to be pressed simultaneously.
Incidentally, this combination is typically impossible with laptops
which use a touchpad instead of a mouse; there's normally a key which
can be pressed to make the touchpad generate RMB events instead of
LMB, but you can't get both simultaneously.
