Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Hello! I've got a very strange problem. Symlinks doesn't want to be archived:

user@ubuntu:~$ ls -la ./weird/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 user user    0 2009-10-03 12:33 .
drwxr-xr-x 35 user user 8192 2009-10-03 12:33 ..
lrwxrwxrwx  1 user user    0 2009-10-03 11:43 .bashrc -> ./.profile
-rw-r--r--  1 user user  697 2009-10-03 11:43 .profile
user@ubuntu:~$ tar -cf - ./weird/ | tar -tvf -
drwxr-xr-x user/user 0 2009-10-03 12:33 ./weird/
lrwxrwxrwx user/user 0 2009-10-03 11:43 ./weird/.bashrc -> .\251t\b \251t\b<W
-rw-r--r-- user/user 697 2009-10-03 11:43 ./weird/.profile

I don't know what ".\251t\b \251t\b<W" mean.

Steps to reproduce(:

cd /tmp
hg init testrepo
cd ./testrepo
echo "content" > testfile
ln -s testfile ./.testlink
hg add
hg ci -m "commit"
cd ~
hg clone ssh://localhost//tmp/testrepo clonedrepo
tar -cf - ./clonedrepo | tar -tvf -
