I agree that this is the case.  The closest thing I found to 
documentation of this is 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291.aspx under Deploying 
Visual C++ library DLLs as private assemblies.  It specifies that the 
assembly be copied twice, once into the folder with the .exe and again 
into the folder with the .dll.

I think the best option is to always install for everyone as 
administrator on Vista.
