Mats,
Correct, the linker knows zilch about C++ and virtual functions and only work with symbol names. The name mangling issue, however, does not play a role in virtual function calls, ...
I think you may have misunderstood Jim. What he meant was that the fact that virtual interfaces probably don't work across modules compiled with different C++ compilers is irrelevant because different compilers mangle names differently so the image would never start, thus never hit a bad virtual interface vector. In other words, the argument that pure virtual interfaces aren't acceptable because they don't work in an image made from modules compiled with different compilers is a red herring. Such an image won't work at all.
