I can't reporduce your problem.

The test case outputs:
Opened stdout: 3

$ ls -la /dev/std*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 yano なし 15 Mar 26  2016 /dev/stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 yano なし 15 Mar 26  2016 /dev/stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 yano なし 15 Mar 26  2016 /dev/stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1

What happens if you execute:
rm /dev/stdin /dev/stdout
ln -s /proc/self/fd/0 /dev/stdin
ln -s /proc/self/fd/1 /dev/output
