Using your test case as example, you have:
main.ll: f0, weak_common (both prevailing)
1.ll: f1 (prevailing), weak_common (not prevailing)

After importing:
main.ll: f0, f1(available_externally), weak_common (prevailing)
1.ll: f1 (prevailing), weak_common (available_externally)

The possible optimization:
main.ll: f0, weak_common (prevailing), f1 is not inlined and discarded
1.ll: f1 (prevailing), weak_common is inlined.

Result:
f0 calls f1, which has an inlined version of weak_common, which lost interposablility.
