In any event "unreadable files" is a problem all over the place if I use Cygwin's /usr/bin/ln to create links. That's why I was forced to write a wrapper. Even if 'JUNCTION' is false/misleading as to the root cause, plenty of 'DOS' programs, like the AWS CLI and Golang have major problems with the default behavior.
For a "compatibility" environment to spawn a slew of unusable filesystem artifacts is a MAJOR bug, IMO.
