Sounds as though the program compiled by the scanner is being linked
against the system copy rather than the just-installed copy. Have you
set "YourLibrary_1_0_gir_LIBS = libyour-library.la" in the Makefile.am
that controls scanning? That's what telepathy-glib does, and it seems to
result in picking up the local library correctly.
