Open terminal (as admin):

[~] $ mkdir -p A/B
[~] $ ln -s A C
[~] $ cmd /c "mklink /j D A"
Junction created for D <<===>> A
[~] $ (cd C/B ; pwd -P)
/home/me/A/B
[~] $ (cd D/B ; pwd -P)
/home/me/D/B

The last output should be /home/me/A/B, not /home/me/D/B.

realpath displays the same behavior.

#  ( cd D/B ; pwd -P; realpath .; realpath $(pwd); readlink -e .; readlink -e $(pwd) )
/c/dev/temp/1/D/B
/c/dev/temp/1/D/B
/c/dev/temp/1/A/B
/c/dev/temp/1/D/B
/c/dev/temp/1/A/B
