--- Comment #2 from Eduard Braun <Eduard.Braun2 at gmx.de> ---
This broken behavior was actually introduced in bug 733934.
Discussion on reverting to the documented (and desired) behavior is in bug
739835.

While there are use cases where the current (undocumented) behavior might be
desirable it breaks the documented behavior which is expected by a lot of
software and should therefore be restored.

As this case highlights even "DLLs that are of the dynamically loaded module or
plugin variety are often located in more private locations deeper down in the
tree" (to cite the documentation) seem to fail because of the unexpected
behavior of g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module that was
introduced in the linked bug (which was supposed to fix specifically this
case).
