From my trial and error, this file system does not let you create bad

Hmm, yes, apparently that filesystem can be configured to disallow
creation of dangling symlinks or links to files they don't own. See:
https://www.cloudlinux.com/getting-started-with-cloudlinux-os/41-security-features/933-activating-securelink
Using this feature will break a lot of programs (not just ln), but
evidently they're not concerned about that.
Given the above, I'm closing this bug.
Discussion can continue by replying to this thread.
