This does not seem to be a libtool bug:

% grep DESTDIR libtool
%

Since libtool does not handle DESTDIR, then it must be the 
responsibility of a higher-level, such as the makefile.  If you are 
using Automake, maybe there is a deficiency in your project's 
Makefile.am, or even Automake itself.  There is a known Automake bug 
in that libraries need to be listed in a particular order so that old 
installed libraries won't be used by mistake.
