The similar happens also in Linux.

In Debuan GNU/Linux 11.2:
yano AT debian:~$ mkdir -p a/b/c
yano AT debian:~$ ln -s a/b/c c
yano AT debian:~$ cd c
yano AT debian:~/c$ pwd
/home/yano/c
yano AT debian:~/c$ /bin/pwd
/home/yano/a/b/c

In cygwin 3.3.4:
yano AT cygwin:~$ mkdir -p a/b/c
yano AT cygwin:~$ ln -s a/b/c c
yano AT cygwin:~$ cd c
yano AT cygwin:~/c$ pwd
/home/yano/c
yano AT cygwin:~/c$ /bin/pwd
/home/yano/a/b/c
