I'm not in a position to hack code on this unfortunately, but I can offer to 
test.

I suspect it's important in the longer term to track this down because they 
(MSFT) ~could~ make further changes down the road that break cygwin-created 
symlinks altogether (from the windoze perspective), which'd more than just 
"annoying".
