You're right that the usage of the debuginfo macro's isn't documented in the
guidelines. The topic (debuginfo support) has been discussed on the
fedora-mingw mailing list though. This can be read at
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/mingw/2009-June/001613.html (+ follow
ups) and http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/mingw/2009-July/001811.html
(+ follow ups).

Unfortunately the Fedora MinGW SIG has had a lack of leadership and interest
these days. One year ago I spent a lot of time on the Fedora MinGW SIG to get
new packages and features in, but a few months ago I started on a new full-time
job leaving me with very little spare time to work on the Fedora MinGW SIG.

The %global __strip override is only used for static libraries, so that's why
you're not seeing any effects when used on libraries or executables.
