I think it probably doesn't 'work', in the sense that you can't install

that's fine, as I don't think our multilib policy says you _will_ be
able to install -devel packages together and it's not a huge tragedy if
you can't. So that would certainly be an improvement. Just being able to
install the main lib package is the most important thing.
I remember a big push to make multilib -devel work many many Fedora releases
ago. Possibly pre-Core Extras merge.
If those files are exactly the same in both the x86 and x86_64 package they
should be okay under multilib. If they aren't exactly the same they should
go in a path that either has the arch in the pathname or the bitedness
(lib64 vs lib)
