The reason seems to be the dummy shlibs.local. dh_girepository is
called twice, the 1st time (explicitly from the debian/rules) before
the this dummy shlibs.local is created and a 2nd time (cdbs is doing
that) after the shlibs.local has been created. Only the result from
the 2nd call is used.

So my question is why is this dummy shlibs.local file created during the
build? We could either remove this completely or move the call to
dh_girepository to the end of the common-binary-predeb-arch target
(after the "rm"). Just tried with both solution and they all seems to
work.
