Well, on my side I am surprised since the htslib authors clearly aim at providing their library to a broad range of developers of bioinformatics tools. I think that if somebody would have time to prepare a patch, it would have good chances to be accepted. In the meantime, I think that updating the .symbols file without changing the soname is the solution with the best tradeoff between risk, extra work, and deviaiton from upstream.
