The "matching" you mention may not happen in the snappy case. So there
is a problem.

In the pure snappy case, an app brings its own libmirclient and
potentially its own libmirprotobuf and libmir*. So it is not a binary
"match" for the server in question. And the app may be using Mir
binaries that are newer (most likely) or older (e.g. this bug) than that
of the server. The only commonality is the protocol and negotiation
needs to happen there. It's not related to libraries and ABIs at all.
Unless.....

We could mitigate the problem by:
  (a) Never bumping the client ABI again; and
  (b) Ensuring app snaps don't bring their own libmir*, so do use the system 
copy.
However that only works for as long as we can ensure both (a) and (b) are true.
