Weird.  I can't reproduce this behaviour.  What kind of symlink is that?
A Windows shortcut file, a SYSTEM type symlink, or a native NTFS symlink?

The umlaut problem could be a problem of your terminal.  Are you using
rxvt?  How are your locale settings, $LANG, $LC_CTYPE, etc?  There's
also the chance that your passwd/group files are using another codeset
than your locale settings.
