The old binaries were indeed statically linked with the real
Motif libraries. That's why they worked so well. A statically
linked Mosaic would also start faster.

Mosaic uses Lesstif heavily, so the buggy parts are quite
visible. One example is the list widget which doesn't display
the items unless the scrollbars are touched or an item
selected. As I said, these problems will probably be fixed in
future Lesstif releases, and replacing the shared library with
a newer version will improve Mosaic too.
