One example he already told you -- if the library *interface*
changes between the release and debug build (e.g. because the set
of command-line macros used in the two builds is different).

Other cases (in order of decreasing probability):
- there is a bug which is present in both versions, but is only
observable in the release build.
- there is a bug which is present only in one version
- there is a bug in the compiler, or linker.

Cheers,

P.S. If you actually observe a problem while linking debug and
release libraries, you will probably be better off describing
that *particular* problem, rather than asking general "under what
conditions could this possibly happen" question.
