Yes, it is supposed to.

That is wrong. If that's true for your system than something is wrong
with your system/configuration.

By default linuxulator looks for files first at /usr/compat/linux
directories and only if it fails then /usr/local is used. I.e. if
you have /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 than it should
be found by linuxulator and no symlinking is needed.
