Correct. Debian based distributions have rearranged where libraries
(and header files) are installed to add "multiarch" support.
See https://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch for details.

I expect the same result with *any* SANE frontend, not just XSane.

You should see the same in Ubuntu 14.04 and perhaps even in 12.04 as
that is when the first multiarch changes started.
I'm pretty sure this is a bug in your binary packages.
Hope this helps,
