Yes, but the SMB guys can recite the wire format of SMB asleep, probably.
There's also

Opening a directory requires to use the FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS flag.
See the Remarks section of
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363858%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Oh and, you have to use the FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT flag, of
course.

This might be the difference to Explorer.  If the server accidentally
returns the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT flag only if the dir has been
opened with FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT, Explorer would never see
this.  In contrast to Cygwin it's not interested in the fact whether
the dir is a reparse point or not.
