There is nothing funny about it, if you have read the specs:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/stepbystep/_library.html

The following directories are searched for the library:

        ${JRE_HOME}/lib/<arch>/

On x86, <arch> is 'i386'. Depending upon client oder server VM:

        ${JRE_HOME}/lib/<arch>/client/
or
        ${JRE_HOME}/lib/<arch>/server/

And if you have a JDK instead of JRE, this one is searched, too:

        ${JDK_HOME}/lib/<arch>/

Then 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' is searched.
