How strange........

Have you tried the:
    fcntl(F_GETPATH)
vs fcntl(F_GETPATH_NOFIRMLINK)
vs realpath()

comparison suggested in the comments and does it return anything sensical? Such that we could record both spellings when the daemon starts up. I think we'd have to do it on an open fd on the worktree root directory.
