Yep!
I talked about this in the early days of 2.1, when others noticed that
the compat* dists seemed a little haphazardly put together and
exhibited the side-effects in question. All I can say in my own
defence is that I never really had time to do the compat libs at all,
and I warned people several times that if somebody didn't volunteer to
take that piece and make sure it was correct, I was just going to end
up having to throw something together at the last minute.
And I did ask in May.. :-)

It can be a single gzip'd tarball for all I care, but I really need
somebody to make a `compat20dist' that extracts relative to /.
I'd do it myself, but I don't have the time to go chasing down all the
2.0 compatability bits right now, so if you want to see support for
2.0 binaries "out of the box" in 2.0.5, please consider stepping
forward and making this distribution for me!
Thanks!
