R. David Murray added the comment:

The first of those acts as I would expect: os.path.realpath is operating only 
on the path, so if the last element is a symbolic link it doesn't have any 
reason to look for the target of that link.

The second one does seem less intuitive.

I'm not sure the first case is worth a patch...I'd have to see a suggested 
wording.  The second probably is, assuming it is not in fact a bug.
