Gordan, I checked on pre5 by creating a no-dest symlink and check how it behaves. It was fine. Avati said that he had seen similar issue in pre5 and not on latest code. Hence mentioned that it would be fixed in pre6. I am not sure why you saw that bug, if you see same issue on pre6 then we will investigate.
