For example copying /etc/named.conf to /etc/named.conf.bak before modifying it and then afterward discovering that /etc/named.conf and /etc/named.conf.bak are now both symbolic links to the same changed copy of the real file in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf.

Which filesystem are you using?

Ext3:

# echo foobar > 1
# ln -s 1 2
# cp 2 3
# ls -al
-rw-r--r--  1 jacksonm users  7 Jul 17 22:17 1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 jacksonm users 10 Jul 17 22:18 2 -> 1
-rw-r--r--  1 jacksonm users  7 Jul 17 22:18 3
