Yes, this is most likely the cause. Can you please insert this line between
line 69 and line 70

    fprintf(stderr,"INSERTED errno=%d\n",errno); fflush(stderr);

then do
   make clean
   make
   make check

and report the output and contents of test-symlink.log ?

Lustre contains a number of kernel patches [1]; this can surely modify the
behaviour of system calls.
