I don't know if your interpretation is correct. The fact that the link end is
non-existant shouldn't preclude you from removing it.
Put another way, if I do the same thing in a shell script, I get no errors:
121.162)~/tmp% mkdir fred
121.162)~/tmp% mkdir neighbor
121.162)~/tmp% ln -s ../neighbor fred/upandover
121.162)~/tmp% rm -rf fred
121.162)~/tmp%
I'd expect Ruby to work the same way, so I'd agree that this is a bug.
By the way, it really shouldn't matter what "neighbor" is. This should also
work:
Dir.mkdir("fred")
FileUtils.ln_s("/non/existant/directory", "fred/foo" )
FileUtils.rm_rf( "fred" ) # Should still work
