The untracked cache gets confused when a directory is swapped out for
a symlink to another directory. Whatever files are inside the target

not happen if the symlink links to another file, only if it links to
another directory.

Sounds about right (I completely forgot about dir symlinks). Since
I've been away for some time and have not caught up (probably cannot)
with the mailing list yet, is anyone working on this? It may be
easiest to just detect symlinksand disable  the cache for now.
