I believe you'd wind up w/ "C:\symlink\foo\b" in both states.

Conrad should expand here, but I belive the gist of it was that you

An absolute path would allows someone to anchor something absolutely,
when the underlying profile (which typically supplies the root part of a
path) may have moved; which would be bad.
