I think the problem may be that the build process for PyQt5 first builds
libQtXXX.dylib and then copies it to QtXXX.so.  This leaves QtXXX.so
with an 'install name' of libQtXXX.dylib, which might be causing
the problem.

As an experiment it might be worth using the

    install_name_tool -id ...
    
command to change the install name of QtXXX.so to QtXXX.so (which is
what it would have been if QtXXX.so had been created directly, not by
copying).

Caveat: I’m not an expert on Mac OS X dynamic libraries.
