Can you tell us which platform you are using?  You usually don't have to 
add precision qualifiers to make shaders work.

OSG doesn't completely abstract the APIs, but it can be built 
specifically to work with OpenGL ES, by using the compiler flags you 
used. You will however have to put some work into it, since you will 
have to write shaders. Since you are not telling us which "shader 
generator" you are using, it is hard to guess what you are trying to 
achieve.
There is not something like "models for OpenGLES2.0". You will have to 
write appropriate shaders and might have to run some visitors to change 
fixed function pipeline functions in to uniforms/attributes of the model.
For instance osg::Material is not working outside the compatibility 
-profiles, so might have to run a visitor, that parses osg::Material 
instances and replaces them with uniforms or per-vertex attributes which 
you will have to evaluate in the shader.

Chris asked you for an example model that is not working. You mentioned 
the glsl-simple model, which from a glance doesn't have ES-compatible 
code. The easiest thing to do is to start with a model(preferably not 
containing shaders) and a simple ES-Shader.
Unfortunately the examples here are relatively rare. Might be a great 
opportunity to create some minimalistic core/ES-based shader example and 
to extend the OpenGL-ES pseudo loader.
