Sorry, the example uses the bash builtin, when I should have used test 
directly (it exhibits the same behaviour)

$ touch test
$ ln -s test testl
$ test -e testl && echo true
true
$ rm test
rm: remove regular empty file `test'? y
$ test -e testl && echo true

Probably Bash's manpage needs ammendment too if the test manpage is 
modified.
