Hmm, I wasn't able to reproduce it with a simple directory with a symlink in it:
kirkl...@x200:~$ mkdir foo
kirkl...@x200:~$ cd foo/o
bash: cd: foo/o: No such file or directory
kirkl...@x200:~$ cd foo/
kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ date > foobar
kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ ln -s foobar link
kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ ls -alF
total 28
drwxr-xr-x  2 kirkland kirkland  4096 2009-10-03 13:17 ./
drwxr-xr-x 66 kirkland kirkland 20480 2009-10-03 13:17 ../
-rw-r--r--  1 kirkland kirkland    29 2009-10-03 13:17 foobar
lrwxrwxrwx  1 kirkland kirkland    84 2009-10-03 13:17 link -> foobar
kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ cd .
kirkl...@x200:~/foo$ cd ..
kirkl...@x200:~$ tar jcvf foo.tar.bz2 foo/
foo/
foo/foobar
foo/link
kirkl...@x200:~$ cp foo.tar.bz2 /tmp
kirkl...@x200:~$ cd /tmp/
kirkl...@x200:/tmp$ tar jxvf foo.tar.bz2 
foo/
foo/foobar
foo/link


However, I think hg might be uncovering something we're doing wrong in 
eCryptfs.  In fact, both bzr and git have already pointed out errors in 
eCryptfs, so I'm going to subscribe Tyler and ask him to take a look.
