I'm sorry that there has been no resolution for this bug. It was tagged
upstream some time ago, but that upstream tag didn't include a specific URL to
the upstream bug.

However, you reported this issue when you were running 0.24 and I know that
there were many symlink related bugs that were fixed since then.

Is it possible for you to test this to see if it occurs in a newer version of
puppet and report back to the bug your results (and let me know what version
you tried)?

Thanks,
micah
