afaik only cygwin and msys2 python flavours can handle *various* links and junctions. ( usefull tool http://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html )

and testing symlinks is may be disabled in MSVCRT paths https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/10245/files#diff-2b0d47b7b6809ae1bd1d7fd0c4e36e00R246 as some comment suggest.
