It is working as it is supposed to.  See
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/books/c092508427.htm#Header_662
and read from the paragraph that starts "Program references are grouped to 
avoid the overhead of resolving to the target program."

You could have one call without a library name and the other call with the 
library name MYOTHLIB along with the program name.  Of course this has 
hazards of its own.
