Already fixed yesterday. It's not link_path_walk(), it's handle_dots() ignoring an error returned by step_into(). commit 5e3c3570ec97 is the broken one; commit 20971012f63e is its variant with the fix folded in. So next-20200325 has the bug and next-20200326 should have it fixed. Could you check the current -next and see if you still observe that crap?
