I restored a specific directory twice, and did an rsync -auin FirstRestore/ SecondRestore/ to verify that they're identical.

They're not. Every single symlink shows up as modified (ie with the ".L..t......" itemized change mask).
The timestamp of each symlink matches the time at which the symlink was restored.

Duplicity is used through deja-dup, but I suspect duplicity is to blame.

Are you aware of this?
