Hmm - tricky.  The issue is that these symbol names are printed out by an
internal function of the BFD library (pe_print_idata to be exact) which does
not have access to the do_demangle or the demangle_flags variables which
are set in objdump.c...

Given that the symbols can be demangled via the command line that you use
in the description, it seems to me that fixing the BFD library is not that
important.

If we did fix the library, the best solution, imho, would be to add a callback
function for printing symbol names.  Then any bfd function that displays 
symbols could call it, allowing any user of the bfd library to decide how
symbol names are display.
