I'd be more inclined to believe the bug is in glib2's pkg-config file
or in your system finding it. Check your glib-2.0.pc to see what the
Version field says. And try 'pkg-config --debug --modversion glib-2.0'
to track which directory's glib-2.0.pc file is being used. Maybe
there's more than one .pc file and pkg-config is picking the wrong
one?
