This is the behavior I would consider correct. Being able to use symlinks that
are treated as normal files is an essential part of my workflow (tm):

I use git with git-annex to manage my photos. The raw files are added via
git-annex (and therefore replaced by symlinks to read-only files in read-only
directories), while the sidecar files remain normal files managed by pure git.
The raw files are never supposed to be changed anymore, while the metadata is
kept under version control independent of a single tool (I use darktable for
raw processing and digikam for almost everything else)
