-Bsymbolic, self-contained libraries, redhat, gcc

I have read the faq entry explaining why dynamic type info does not work
across shared lib boundaries. 

However, I can't get it to work INSIDE a single .so, at least not on
RedHat 7.x. The catch doesn't catch.

My libraries are build with -z defs and -Bsymbolic, so they should be
their own self-contained universe.

I created a testcase for this, and submitted it to bugzilla, but I
submitted it against libstdc++.
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12555

I would be most grateful for any advice. I'm not sure whether I should
be looking more toward the gcc universe or the RedHat universe, so I'm
trying both in parallel.
