Yes, that's exactly it. To prevent this bad experience,
bootstrap/bootstrap prevents several directories from containing a
symlink in their path (see checkarg_sane_absolute_path).

Unfortunately, WRKOBJDIR is not in that list since it is usually
configured later and manually, therefore bootstrap cannot do anything
about it.

To fix this for all times and for everyone, I just added the same check
to mk/bsd.pkg.mk. This would have saved you the time to search for this bug.

No, not really. Your setup could have worked. Therefore it was a good alarm.
