 I don't think this is recent.  NetBSD 1.6 behaves the same way.
 
 Basically, we use -L only to select FTS_LOGICAL instead of
 FTS_PHYSICAL.  printing code doesn't know whether -L was specified.
 For links with non-existent targets fts_children(3) returns the link
 info (as it would for FTS_PHYSICAL) and printing code just happily
 prints it.
