I think this might be a bug, so I'm CC'ing the dev@ list:

Maybe there's some flag we should be passing to APR when creating a
symlink, saying it's okay if the target of the link doesn't exist? If
no such flag is available, then we might have a more serious problem
on our hands.
I'm not sure if creating a symlink that points to a non-existent
target results in the same behavior on all platforms, so this might
also be a platform-specific bug. You don't say what environment you
were running in -- we could use that datum, among others :-). See
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/BUGS for the kinds of details
that help when reporting a bug (your report wasn't bad, I just want to
drill down and get more information now).
Thanks,
