Ok.  My bad. :)

I was using the js.c distributed with the javascript distro for prototyping
the dynamic loader code.  As it turns out, when linking the test program
(js) Makefile.ref does not link with the libjs.so shared library, it links
with the static libjs.a.  So the "app" was linking with the static library
and my shared object was linking with libjs.so.  No wonder there were
problems.  Of course it worked when the shared object had to resolve libjs
symbols from the "app" using -rdynamic because then they were using the same
library.

Have a nice day.
