What matters is how the (in memory) inode is created after mounting. If you first run across an mfsymlink with a readdir() call, then you'll get an inode that's "stuck" as a regular file. If you instead do something like stat() it before ever running a readdir over the containing directory, it should work just fine. This patch probably is probably reasonable for stable, given that the original one also went there.
