Yes, the present situation is that from the real file and the symlink,
one of them will not run.

Note that the test here is the converse situation of the guile channel
[1] described in the cookbook.  There, the symlink is in the outer
directory and the real file in the inner directory, which refers to
      (source (local-file "../.." "guile-checkout"
