I don't fully understand all the issues you've raised, but doing the
cleanup you mention here is clearly a good idea.  I stumbled across
this more than once recently.

It seems to be that dynamic symbols, whether local or not, should be
in the hash table.  I found it vaguely offensive that the section
symbols, which wind up in the dynamic symbol table, had to be handled
specially.
