Thanks all for investigating.  It looks like we need to cater
for the directory and symlink being the wrong way around, and to
rectify that if possible.  Other than for chroots, where we don't
have a choice, and no means to effectively upgrade to the correct
configuration, this has never been an officially supported
configuration.
