Debian Sid, might be a platform specific issue?

few technical details useful to understand better:

a) starting since November 2013 it become definitely clear
   that the older self-registration mechanism based on the
   spatialite_init() API was intrinsically thread unsafe
   and could potentially have very bad interactions with
   the more recent versions of both PROJ.4 and GEOS

b) consequently a public announcement [1] was duly released
   warning about the deprecation of spatialite_init()
   and soliciting developers and maintainers to start
   supporting the alternative thread safe mechanism based
   on spatialite_alloc_connection(), spatialite_init_ex()
   and spatialite_cleanup() APIs.

c) all recent versions of libspatialite, spatialite-tools
   and spatialite_gui are now expected to be fully thread
   safe: and AFAIK the same is for recent versions of GDAL.
   any obsolete version still based on the nowadays deprecated
   spatialite_init() API is potentially at risk when deployed
   in a multithread configuration.
