Yes, there is a problem. See my posting here:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2008-June/177553.html

Unfortunatelly, I have not got an answer, but it is obvious packages 
using this new symbol must fail:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2008-May/091586.html

The question is, if other package may fail as well.

I have had one more error that went away after recompiling a STABLE package:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2008-July/020520.html

I do not know if this is related, though.

If you find out more, please, let me know.

Cheers,
Jan Henrik
