C:\Documents and Settings on Vista and later is not a junction, just a
symlink to C:\Users.  The weird behaviour is the result of the
permission settings:

$ cacls C:/Documents\ and\ Settings
C:\Documents and Settings Everyone:(DENY)(special access:)
                                   FILE_READ_DATA

                          Everyone:R
                          NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F
                          BUILTIN\Administrators:F

Note the deny entry.  Microsoft was trying to discourage the usage
of "Documents and Settings" for the users, while at the same time
keeping applications hardcoding the path (they exist, unfortunately)
running.
