That particular issue seems to be fixed now too, thanks!

However further testing regarding creating symlinks that point at files in a
nonexistent directory shows further issues. It seems to work if creating a
symlink pointing at e.g. "nonexistentdir\file", but not there's more than one
nonexistent directory involved, e.g. creating one pointing at
"nonexistent\dir\file" (or another nonexistent target exercised by the
testsuites is "C:/This/Path/Should/Not/Exist").

A quick modification to the attached testcase shows these issues.
