For the problem to occur, you need to have
  - one access of the variable in libtexinfo,
  - AND one access of the variable in the ConvertXS module shared library,
  - AND one of these is read/write, and the other one depends on it.

Here,
  extern const TRANSLATED_SUI_ASSOCIATION translated_special_unit_info[];
is a read-only array, and so its values in the two shared libraries are
the same. Therefore there is no ill effect.

That's what I would guess.
