Let's try a different example.

There is a gplv2+ library that I would love to use in a closed source
application.

If I then write a thin bsd-licensed library which primary purpose is to
be a bsd licensed interface to the gplv2+ library, would that be fine ?

Let's say:

commercial app links with bsd library links with gplv2+ library.

I don't think that's fine. It would also be a loophole the size of a
small star in the gpl.

No. I think the licensing is transitive.
