gob2 turns that into C (with appropriate .h and .c headers) which is
what I'm feeding to g-ir-scanner. It even includes the annotation
comments. So g-ir-scanner should find this:

/**
 * gsqlite_database_new:
 *
 * @filename: filename of the database or ":memory:".
 * @error: (out) (allow-none) (default NULL):
 *
 * Returns: a new database object or %NULL
 *
 * Use g_object_unref() to close. All statements must be finalized
 * separately.
 **/
#line 55 "/media/htpc.home/gsqlite/gsqlite-database.gob"
GsqliteDatabase * 
gsqlite_database_new (const gchar * filename, GError ** error)
{
#line 178 "gsqlite-database.c"
#define __GOB_FUNCTION__ "Gsqlite:Database::new"
{
#line 57 "/media/htpc.home/gsqlite/gsqlite-database.gob"
	
        GsqliteDatabase *self = GET_NEW;
        
        return self_check_open_for_new(self, self_open(self, filename, error));
    }}
#line 187 "gsqlite-database.c"
#undef __GOB_FUNCTION__


All the extras like #line, __GOB_FUNCTION__ [1] and the double braces
are there for at least some of the virtual methods which gir is picking
up, so I don't think they're the cause of the problem.

[1] If I add --warn-all I get this:

gsqlite-database.h:949: Warning: Gsqlite: symbol='__GOB_FUNCTION__': Unknown namespace for symbol '_GOB_FUNCTION__'

which doesn't make sense because __GOB_FUNCTION__ isn't mentioned in the
header and it doesn't have 949 lines; but it seems harmless.
