I would guess that the current behavior is somehow related to the
equivalent ELF behavior; DT_NEEDED foo.so means "search the library path
for foo.so", which does not try $PWD.  DT_NEEDED ./foo.so means "try
./foo.so relative to $PWD" and IIRC does not ever search the library
path.

Whereas in my system the library is found using an ordinary fopen call.

Thanks, committed.
