in /libs/filesystem/src/operations.cpp (lines 1654-1672)

    //  reparse point handling;
    //    since GetFileAttributesW does not resolve symlinks, try to open a file
    //    handle to discover if the file exists
    if (attr & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT)
    {
      handle_wrapper h(
        create_file_handle(
            p.c_str(),
            0,  // dwDesiredAccess; attributes only
            FILE_SHARE_DELETE | FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
            0,  // lpSecurityAttributes
            OPEN_EXISTING,
            FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS,
            0)); // hTemplateFile
      if (h.handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
      {
        return process_status_failure(p, ec);
      }
      if (!is_reparse_point_a_symlink(p))
        return file_status(reparse_file, make_permissions(p, attr));
    }

changing

return file_status(reparse_file, make_permissions(p, attr));

to:

return file_status(directory_file, make_permissions(p, attr));

seems to fix this problem...of course i have no idea what new problems it might cause.
