Further investigation seems to indicate that the address of the literal is used
in one place and the array address is used in another. It loads the address of
the stack variable and substracts the address of the constant string. This will
explain the massive difference when using the pointer substraction. It seems
more and more like a code generation issue and not a library issue. 

(Thanks goes to Erwin on freenode.net#c++ for working through the assembler part)
