Yes, that's patched. :-) But I also see the problem in Fedora Core 2.

Thinking about it, it must be order-specific. But here's the output I
get:
`2/d/3' -> `1/d/3'
`2/d/2' -> `1/d/2'
`2/d/1' -> `1/d/1'
`2/d/4' -> `1/d/4'
strace output shows that the only unlink is 1/d/2, here:
write(1, "`2/d/2\' -> `1/d/2\'\n", 19) = 19
link("1/d/3", "1/d/2") = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
unlink("1/d/2") = 0
link("1/d/3", "1/d/2") = 0
