This occurs on the released 3.6.0 but not in 3.6.0 test build 327.

/tmp ls foo bar
ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'bar': No such file or directory

/tmp ln -s foo bar

/tmp ls foo bar
ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory
bar@

/tmp ls -l foo bar
ls: cannot access 'foo': No such file or directory
ls: bar: Not supported
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Mark None 3 Mar 25 02:08 bar -> foo

The spurious "Not supported" message is new and curious.
I could not see anything obvious in an strace of the command.
