I just searched through the source code, and found out that there are already some places, where vectors of boolean values are passed to lapack routines. The logical type of fortran is simply translated to the bool type of C/C++. The logical_t typedef is apparently only used for function pointers (gees, trevc).
So there is no need to change the (confusing) typedef right now, but it would probably be a good idea to translate function pointers in a less confusing way to void*. ("const void* select" would be less confusing for me than "logical_t* select" for "SELECT (external procedure) LOGICAL FUNCTION of one COMPLEX argument")
