I don't think this is a bug, the behaviour is as follows:
"ln -l" shows the permissions on the soft link while the nautilus
properties show the permissions on the actual file that the link points
to (it dereferences the link). In practice, Nautilus behaves like "ls
-lL" (try that: lower-case 'l' followed by upper-case 'L').
It makes more sense to show the permissions the way Nautilus does:
permissions on the soft link will always be 777 but the permissions on
the file itself is what will govern what the user can do.
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
