When you use the -release tag, and no -version-info tag, libtool sets the install name of the library to the full name libfoo-1.2.3.dylib, it does not really need any version information because dyld will fail to find any other version. The -release tag is documented as breaking binary compatibility for every release, so that is likely what the upstream maintainers intend.
You really should not make assumptions about what the upstream maintainers of packages will do without having asked them.
The name libfoo-1.2.3.dylib is just as valid as libfoo.1.2.3.dylib. If you pass -lfoo to ld, it will only look for libfoo.dylib (be it a symlink or a real file), ld does not give a hoot what the real lib is called if libfoo.dylib is indeed a symlink, it could be missing the lib prefix, or could have a different extension, ld does not care.
Is it really only the 'ugly' filenames that are bothering you about this?
