This does not seem to be true in Dapper and later. Also, note that in running 
the example, I had to supply the -h option to chgrp in order to affect sym 
rather than dir/.
ls -ld is probably more appropriate to this test than ls -la.

** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu)
       Status: Unconfirmed => Fix Released
