If a workaround was really necessary I'd agree with Jonathan. But it looks like a workaround to fix up st_size is not necessary, because both Krusader and ls (just two examples I could easily find) work without changing st_size. Note that they use a different way to check whether the current file is a symlink, not sure if that makes the difference though.
