Yeah.  When you call a stub, $gp must already be set to the owning
object's _gp.  That's how the dynamic loader knows which GOT to change.

In your case, libdl will be calling libpthread's stub with $gp set to
libdl's _gp.  The dynamic loader will therefore end up trying to change
libdl's GOT, not libpthread's.
