I was able to reproduce a similar issue when linking against two import
libraries for two DLLs (without involving the concept of EXEs exporting symbols
and import libraries for them).

My suspicion is that the synthesized import table chunks (when using msvc style
import libraries, where the linker needs to synthesize the import table
contents) aren't sorted correctly if there's more than one msvc style import
library involved.
