So debian's policy is that 32 bit libraries go in /usr/lib32 on x86_64 but their 32 bit libraries aren't actually installed there? So, is this is multiarch or not? It sounds like it's not intended to be multiarch.
I would agree with Corbin that this is NOTABUG since this case is pretty convoluted and no one has ever needed it before. However, if you write a patch that sets the search path from configure and leaves the current default (not extending it with a path that hasn't been needed), then I'll commit it for you.
You may want to open a bug in ubuntu to see what the developers say. If this is a debian/ubuntu policy, then I don't know why it hasn't come up before.
