Confirmed in python3.2.

Lib/posixpath.py/_resolve_link: path returned by readlink
is normalized by normpath. In this case readlink('zlink')
returns 'xlink/../blink', then normpath is called, and
returns 'blink'. This ends processing because 'blink'
isn't a link.

I've attached procedure that does [IMHO] correct symlink
resolution (this is just proof-of-concept, it is slow and
doesn't deal with cyclic links).
