That is probably the case, for some value of "incompatible". I must admit that I have no direct knowledge of exactly why the shlib version number was bumped. However it was decided, the ABI for libintl.so seems to be remarkably mutable: strange therefore that all of the software that depends on that library seems to recompile against the new shlib version completely smoothly and that it seems to be possible to futz the shlib version issue by creating appropriate symlinks...
