   Just curious: I have reported this problem when we have introduced 
   symbol versioning, and everybody here explained me this is the expected
   behaviour because library and main program should never call 2
   different versions of the same function. Now it is a bug ?

No, it's not a bug.  It was designed this way.  As soon as we
introduce a new version for a symbol, the old one will become hidden
and the (static) linker will refuse to use it.
