Did we not have plans to link-up from index on lookup, when upper link
is missing?  For consistency sake, that would make a lot of sense
after such a disconnected copy-up, and also for the hardlink copy-up.

Yes, things work without the upper link, but restoring the upper link
makes sense, and lookup is perhaps the most logical place to do that
restoration.

Thanks,
