Bug description:
  $ mkdir ja.utf-8
  $ ln -s ja.utf-8/ ja
  $ cp --reflink -dp --parents ja x
  $ ls x
  x@
  $ ls -lh x
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 jak jak 9 Jul 11 07:04 x@ -> ja.utf-8/
  $ rm -r x
  $ mkdir x
  $ cp --reflink -dp --parents ja x
  cp: cannot create symlink 'x' to 'ja.utf-8': File exists (os error 17)
  $ gnucp --reflink -dp --parents ja x
  $ ls x
  ja@

  In particular if we do
  $ rm -r x
  $ gnucp --reflink -dp --parents ja x
  gnucp: with --parents, the destination must be a directory
  Try 'gnucp --help' for more information.
