incorrectly linked libSDL2.so?

I noticed in our recently installed R2018a that there seems to be an incorrect symlink (note that libSDL2.so is symlinked to a non-existent file):

frisch.paciorek$ ls -l R2018a/bin/glnxa64/libSDL*
-r--r--r-- 1 scf scfstaff 5180839 Feb  5 21:18 R2018a/bin/glnxa64/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.2.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 scf scfstaff      20 Apr 11 13:53 R2018a/bin/glnxa64/libSDL2-2.0.so.1 -> libSDL2-2.0.so.0.2.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 scf scfstaff      14 Apr 11 13:53 R2018a/bin/glnxa64/libSDL2.so -> libSDL2-2.0.so

This is under Linux Ubuntu 16.04, with Matlab installed using the standard install script, but I also noticed this going back to previous versions when I looked back at them.

I am running Matlab 2015b, 2016a, 2016b, 2017a, 2017b on 6.9 Redhat Santiago Linux and see the same thing.
