Native symbolic link behavior is broken and makes backups using Cygwin command line tools impossible

That's not the case on Windows or rather it has restrictions that can
trip you up.  On Windows you must specify if the symbolic link points to
a directory or a file in order to create a symbolic link to a
non-existing file.  If that information is not available, it is
obviously safer to not create the symbolic link.
