Bash on Windows and symlinks. Bug or feature?

In the user's home directory, I made a symlink to a folder in the root of the C drive of Windows ( C:\Experimental). When I navigate there, I can view the contents of the directories. But when I try to go into subdirectories (even those I create from the bash), their name is added to the prompt, pwdit also grows, but judging by the contents, I'm sitting in the same Experimental. I can "deep" indefinitely.
Judging by ls -l, right 777, but it seems that this is not so. Without using a symlink, everything works as it should.

Yes - since windows vista kernel supports links - MKLINK command. Not the fact that bash correctly works with them.
