I am not sure what shutil does with symlinks already. At the very least it 
should not abort the operation.

Ideally I feel it should create the same symlink pointing to a possibly missing 
file, since that's what '/bin/cp' does, and shutil.copytree is broadly 
understood as a drop in replacement..
