Before you do that and decouple yourself from development, I'd suggest
to look for a workaround in your code, or to see if we can't patch this
behaviour in the upstream code.

Yes, but it's a group of patches trying to fix native symlink behaviour,
spread over a couple of iterations.  If you're looking for an easy
workaround for your case, try this:

diff --git a/winsup/cygwin/path.cc b/winsup/cygwin/path.cc
index e7619270a269..131c7e88278f 100644
--- a/winsup/cygwin/path.cc
+++ b/winsup/cygwin/path.cc
@@ -3492,8 +3492,10 @@ restart:
 	        {
 		  /* Check if the final path is an UNC path and the incoming
 		     path isn't.  If so... */
-		  if (RtlEqualUnicodePathPrefix (&fpath, &ro_u_uncp, TRUE)
-		      && !RtlEqualUnicodePathPrefix (&upath, &ro_u_uncp, TRUE))
+		  if (!RtlEqualUnicodePathPrefix (&upath, &ro_u_uncp, TRUE)

+			     != towupper (fpath.Buffer[4])))
 		    {
 		      /* ...get the remote path, replace remote path
 			 with drive letter, check again. */

However, a generic solution would be preferrable, and a local patch
to your scripts would be the better workaround for now.
