Root What can be moved to SD in CM 7.1?

I have an application called "Copilot GPS" that uses 15 MB in data/data

Upon close consideration most of that is a single file - libcopilot.so

It is located in /data/data/com.alk.copilot/mapviewer/files folder

In "Manage Applications" "Move to SD card" is enabled for this app.

If I move it to SD - will the libcopilot.so be moved? The reason I am asking is that this page:

Apps2SD - CyanogenMod Wiki

says:
Not all of the application's data is actually moved to the SD card; the dex files, private data directories, and native shared libraries remain in internal storage.
As far as I know .SO files are libraries

If I move it to SD and app doesn't work - can I reverse "Move to SD card' process? I also own full version of Titanium backup, so I can take a backup as well. I never mover any apps to SD before.
 
Can't speak for CM7/GB but you can certainly do that with stock FroYo.

I don't think it'll move the libraries though - I've moved multiple apps to the SD and still loose shed loads of space in \data\data to large libraries, SQLlite DBs etc.

I think from what I understand that Link2SD may be one method round the problem.
