No unfortunately it's not fixed in experimental, the .la file still has:

# The name of the static archive.
old_library=''

Which is incorrect. Maybe I'll have a look at it

Although the debs in experimental have the same issue, I just compiled
glib2.0-dev myself (on a etch system) and there strangely enough,
the .la file comes out just fine...

Hi,

I wonder why this trivial two year old bug is not fixed 

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=297741

And without comment in the BTS.

This will break any package that tries to use libtool to statically
link glib-2.0.

I'm planning to upload one, but now I have to kludge around it because
of this. I understand that now (with etchs release around the corner)
is not the time to upload a new glib-2.0, but I would want to know
your thoughts on this.

 I think the bug appeared because libglib.so was wrongly linked to
 libgthread.so until 2.12.8 (but 2.12.8 was broken in other ways.)
