At least on Linux RTLD_LOCAL is the default for dlopen (when RTLD_GLOBAL isn't specified).

I think what went wrong is that moonlight itself dlopen'd a sublibrary with RTLD_GLOBAL, and when icedtea was loaded (with RTLD_LOCAL) it found the now-global symbol from moonlight. (icedtea's symbols themselves weren't exposed to later plugins, but its references to symbols were matched up to the existing global symbols from moonlight.)
