Yes, I think this is what breaks during install. According to the
questions the installer poses and the order in they appear, I presume
first the 64bit libs get copied into /usr/lib64 (wich is a symlink to
/usr/lib), then the 32bit libs are copied to /usr/lib (overwriting the
64bit ones), and there we have it.

We should really think about patching the i386 nvidia-* packages. 
It should depend on ia32-libs and install the 32bit libs to
/emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/ 

I just tested this with an old 32bit version of Q2, it works.
