That's how the shell invokes the context menu handlers.
If you right-click on the shortcut, then that shortcut target is used.
If you right-click on a non-shortcut, then all selected items are used,
but the shortcuts are used directly (the *.lnk files, not their targets).
You can see it yourself if you configure the explorer to show the menu
(pre-Win8) and then instead of right-clicking go to the File menu: it
will show multiple TSVN menu entries if you selected the shortcut.

I don't think I we should do anything about this: without the ability to
work directly on *.lnk files it wouldn't be possible to add those to
version control.
