I'm aware of that problem, and it should be addressed by introducing the symbol versioning (see [1], first bullet). The exact problem you are mentioning was encountered before ([2]), and similar problem was dealt with in [3]. I intend to follow that case. To answer your question, I've not yet identified the packages, but I will look into it (or you are welcome to :) ).
