I don't have a system against which to check this conjecture, but if you do a DOS attrib on each of these files my guess is that the first is created as a +R symlink and the second as a +S symlink*; and if you do a DOS dir the first will be revealed as a .lnk file and the second will not. It looks to me as though the zipper you're using understands and can re-create files of the first sort, but the second goes wrong. (Or maybe even +S +H which might help explain its invisibility, but don't think so.) For different but similar reasons (the need to copy an entire Cygwin system to other file systems via a DVD which can faithfully transfer +R but not +S files whilst preserving these attributes) I have gone through the system re-creating all original +S symlinks as +R. If the above conjecture is true / looks as though it might be true, and if you think this re-creation might help I can send you the script.
