Yes, as commented in libtool.m4:
# It seems that -bexpall does not export symbols beginning with
# underscore (_), so it is better to generate a list of symbols to export.
_LT_AC_TAGVAR(always_export_symbols, $1)=yes

No, I haven't researched the origin of this, nor its validity for
non-ancient systems.  The 2001-04-19 change seems relevant.

Cheers,
