Yep, that is expected.

I've tried to remember how or when I ran
into a generic reference to a:

/usr/lib/lib<something>.so
or:
/lib/lib<something>.so

or some such being used to find a library
when it was a symbolic link but I've not
managed to remember anything. It was not
recently --and not even necessarily under
FreeBSD since I'm remembering so little.
I just end up with a "careful of
assumptions" reaction from some past
problem that I ran into.

All I can say that that I'm pretty sure
I've run into the issue where something
actually used a generic .so link directly
and found and used directly what it
pointed to instead of an original binding.
(May be it was a fail-over for the original
binding not being available to find any
more?)

This can be translated to: if things still
seem to not be working as expected, see if
you can check if the link is in direct use
from a context where that would not work.
A "yes" to that would mean another problem
is involved someplace.
