Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

Indeed, this is pretty bad behaviour, especially for realpath(). Both abspath() 
and normpath() should never be called before any symlinks are resolved.

Of course, fixing it as a bug means it could break existing code which relies 
on ".." fragments being folded.
