You haven't said what hardware architecture (x86, ARM, PowerPC, MIPS xxxx, etc.), or which
compiler/linker/runtime system (gcc, icc, xcc, ..., glibc, uClibc, ...) you are using.
Please tell us.

Based on what you did say, it is somewhat likely that valgrind got confused
by the debugging info in your executable program.  Find a program which
prints out *every* piece of debug info (symbol table, line numbers, types
of variables, etc.), and run such a dumper on mylib.so.debug.
Candidates are: readelf --debug-dump, objdump --debugging, etc.
Attach the output to a bug report.  Also, try running with no debug info:
for instance, by using mylib.so instead of mylib.so.debug.
