I don't believe it's a bug in the application, since I've argued
for a way to disable RTDL_GLOBAL in g_module.

Yep.  The final solution may not be as easy as what I suggested in
the bug report, but I think it's the best solution, given that
GStreamer and the application have differing notions on how to
load modules.
