I'm not able to reproduce it in a fresh install (after apt-get purge).

Can you check if config is a symlink to /etc/gitlab?

There are other symlinks too

config -> /etc/gitlab
Gemfile.lock -> /var/lib/gitlab/Gemfile.lock
log -> /var/log/gitlab
public -> /var/lib/gitlab/public
tmp -> /run/gitlab
shared/cache -> /var/lib/gitlab/cache
/usr/share/gitlab/.secret -> /var/lib/gitlab/.secret

Can you check if all symlinks are in order?
