Can't create symbolic links in child directories

This works:
> touch a
> ln -s a b
This no longer works:
> touch a
> mkdir b
> ln -s a b/c
Error:
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'b/c': No such file or directory
My CYGWIN environment is also configured using "winsymlinks:nativestrict".
I am running the following version (updated today):
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-WOW WORKSTATION 3.0.5(0.338/5/3) 2019-03-31 11:22 i686 Cygwin
I cannot confirm at which point this bug appeared as I updated from some
version prior to 3.0. I am reasonably certain that this has worked
before as I use symbolic links often.
