Bash is doing the wrong thing. You are in "foo/bar". There is nothing inside "foo/bar" for any program you run to tell that you got there by following a symbolic link. Bash is hiding this from you. This is like getting on a plane and having it fly to the wrong airport, and your Joo Janta Peril Sensitive sunglasses magically changing the name of the city you're in to the one you were scheduled to go to whenever you look at a sign. This would be fine if it also magically moved the hotel you were booked into to the new destination, and magically changed the cabbies so they knew about the change. I'm sure that will be possible some time after the Singularity and we'll all be living in mediated environments and forget there's a real world, but I suspect there will be problems with that. Hateful beggar, bash is.
