This seems like it's a serious problem for any program that might want to use multiple libraries that each use dynamic linking via ltdl (and that could include guile itself using some such library). Someone with strictly positive clout should bring this up with libtool's authors (localizing search paths). If environment variable override is a must, they should let the individual library choose the variable name, or a prefix (like GUILE -> GUILE_LIBRARY_PATH) (or choose to go along with the global LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH).
