If I am reading things correctly, the later one that appears on the list of headers is respected. Our respecting of DT_RUNPATH is mostly a hack to deal with upstreams that do things like read the ELF spec that calls RPATH deprecated. I would really like not to re-ignite this discussion, it took a lot of time until we got an OK to do it, and the time wasted by people not understanding why random binaries failed to run was staggering.
