Subject says it pretty much all, but see the Red Hat bugreport for
backtrace and other files [1].
Attached patch fixes this by not recursing down to the loop - not sure
whether the looping directory point should be backed up also, but
it makes sense IMO (as the symlink itself would be otherwise backed up if
the --dereference option was not specified.
