I think so.  But I didn't say 2.0 was *newly* broken in this regard.
It's quite possible the brokenness has been there since 1.5.  (Indeed,
looking at my cc wrapper, I suspect it's been there ever since ELF,
though my point about "if I were a new user" still stands - I can't see
where new users are supposed to find -R, much less -Wl,-rpath.)
