LTO and version scripts

Using LTO to create a DSO works fine (i.e., it performs the expected
optimizations) for symbols which are marked with visibility
attributes.  It does not work, though, when the symbol is not
restricted in its visibility in the source file but instead is
prevented from being exported from the DSO by a version script (ld
--version-script=FILE).

Is this known?  I only found general problems related to linker
scripts although version script parameters do not cause any other
failures.
