Yeah, I don't think it's all that bad. It seems both unlikely (certain kinds of junction points with no intermediate directories, or chains of junction points), and easy to work around once you get the idea by experimentation (probably: add subdir, or tell initdb the real target path directly, or move into place). In hindsight I should have posted that observation onto the -hackers thread where people able to test on Windows would have been more likely to act, not buried here in -committers (and I didn't want to commit blind to pre-CI branches in a hurry myself). Sorry about that.
