dpkg-shlibdeps in dpkg-dev 1.4.0.19 has code to handle this:

        if (m,^\s+(\S+)\s+\=\>\s+\1$,) {
            # shared libraries depend on themselves (unsure why)
            # Only under old ld.so
            $nthisldd++;

If this code isn't in your dpkg-shlibdeps that is your problem.  If the
code is there, the next thing I'd check would be if there's trailing
whitespace on that ldd output line.
