that listing has proven to be quite useful. I've run an strace over the
binary on a linux box, and the next syscall after creating the symlink was
statfs(). 
Code inspection hasn't given me anything suspicious however, and I can't
upgrade my computer to -current at the moment.

So, could you please try to run a small test program for me?
It's at http://www.fs.tum.de/~mrauch/OpenOffice/statvfs . This is a Linux
binary, source code is in the same directory as statvfs.c . If you have
access to a Linux box, you may of course compile it yourself.
The command to run would be  

  cd ~
  statvfs /tmp/sv001.tmp
  cd /tmp/sv001.tmp
  statvfs /tmp/sv001.tmp
