I don't have any clue about the reason, but I've forwarded you mail to the bug report with hope that someone will answer.
I've also reproduced the bug on my machine, and updated it: * reassigned it to the libc6-dev package * retitled for easy understanding of the current problem * marked in as appearing in unstable). I hope these will ease the current maintainers of libc6 to fix that.
