Well, in order for svn to answer the question you've correctly
understood that I'm trying to ask:
"What's the info/ls/pg/etc on 'the path the symlink points to'"
knowing full well that the symlink itself is not in a WC and not under
version control.
Just because svn versions an object doesn't mean any such object
handed to it *must* be versioned for svn to properly work through it.
That seems unnecessarily limiting to me.

What about just having svn check to see if it is a versioned object
and if so, report on it as such. If it isn't, then work on what it
points to?
I could be wrong but It seems to me that svn notices that it is a
symlink and then (falsely in my case) assumes it is in a WC.
