Got it; I knew there was a reason -- I just couldn't remember what it was. If you care, the problem was actually a bug in Libtool's libltdl embedding machinery. We "fixed" the problem by not embedding libltdl by default any more (and went a different way...). If you care:
https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/issues/311 was the initial identification of the issue. We tried a few different approaches to fix the problem. https://github.com/open-mpi/ompi/pull/410 was the final solution.
