Can you try setting up `directory-abbrev-alist`?

AFAIK it was introduced for similar purposes (e.g. for people using the
old `amd` automounter which turned /net/<host> into a symlink to
/tmp_mnt/<host>, but if you stopped using the symlink `amd` would then
unmount /tmp_mnt/<host> after a timeout and your direct access to
/tmp_mnt/<host> would then fail).
