Yes, it's more of our symlink-aware but not symlink-friendly code. I've
had a couple such close calls with volumes mounted onto directories on
Windows. There's no workaround that I know of, nor can I think of any
nice way to make this work without throwing out all our symlink-awareness.

All I can suggest is that you don't check out to the root directory of a
volume.
