Your Makefile is wrong.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH); a.out

is not the same as

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH) a.out

After fixing that, I got

# make
- Build the 'old' library first
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname=libfoo.so -o libfoo.so libfoo.c 
- Next, build the application linked against it
gcc main.c -L. -lfoo
- Make sure that it runs (you should see 'foo is there' message)
foo is there
- Now build the 'new' library
gcc -shared -DLIB_X -Wl,-soname=libfoo.so -o libfoo.so libfoo.c
-Wl,--version-script,version.map  
- Make sure that the application is still runable
foo is there
- Now try build application linked against 'new' library 
  (you should see unresolved reference message)
gcc main.c -L. -lfoo 2>/dev/null
make: [all] Error 1 (ignored)
- PASSED

BTW, there was a bug in glibc, which would cause your problem. It was
fixed by

2002-04-02  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@redhat.com>

       * elf/do-lookup.h (do_lookup): 2 is the first user-defined version
        number [PR libc/3111].

Please make sure your glibc is ok.
