Interesting.

I'm not sure that is the proper question.
As far as I can determine, NPTL was not fully compatible with LinuxThreads,
and there is at least one bug in RedHat's NPTL code as released with 2.4
kernels. In their own words:
"the interface is mostly forward compatible".
Though a couple of users reported problems on 2.6 kernels, I have never been
able to find anything that would indicate that NPTL was implicated (this was
not at all the case on 2.4 kernels where NPTL was back ported and
clearly broken).
Bottom line: I cannot answer your question definitively, but I haven't yet
seen a NPTL problem with Bacula on a 2.6 kernel.
