Comment:
The cause seems to be that `FileSystemStorage.delete()`
[https://github.com/django/django/blob/1bbca7961cee20c4ddd453a7d74d316e84f4bbb5/django/core/files/storage.py#L286-L291
checks if the path exists] before trying to remove the file (for a broken
symlink, this returns False) . If we can't find an elegant solution, we
could document the behavior.
