There has been a proposed patch for this sort of feature, for quite a
long time, <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.libtool.bugs/5319>.
Unfortunately it has not received unanimous love, so we have not applied
it yet. (Maybe we should vote?)

You could strip a leading [._]libs/ from argv[0], similar to what the
gnulib module progname does. Or add a wrapper. Nothing new here. ;-)
Cheers,
