But why the opposite, like lib64bz2-1.0 in the i386 repository?
Maybe just for the converse reason, running amd64 binaries on a mostly
32-bit userland setup. I guess this would work with a 32-bit kernel.

Not a chance, a 64-bit kernel is required to run any 64-bit binary.

So if you're running a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit userland, it would theoretically be useful. But there's no "bzip2-64" in the i386 repos.
