Yes. The problem occurs even if libmircommon is indirectly loaded/unloaded/reloaded. For example the crash happens with:

./load_twice libclutter-glx-1.0.so.0

because clutter->gdk->mirclient->mircommon. We can't control how third-party programs load and unload their libraries (e.g. plugin systems). This is important because it causes crashes in mir/protobuf code from code that is seemingly unrelated to mir itself.
