Nearly missed this one.
ls initializes a struct stat to all NUL bytes.
It calls stat or lstat on a dangling symlink, and that fails.
ls then tests stat.st_ino.
Sometimes, it's 0, but sometimes it's the inode of the symlink,
possibly depending on how the package was

stat has two modes of operation: the default is to interpret each
