I think the current code is correct because the conversion all happens in the S_IFREG if-block. We just fall-through down to the actual write phase for the symlink case.
That said, I found the fall-through here confusing as hell. I actually think it would be a lot clearer with a goto, which is saying something. Here's the "diff -w" of what I mean, for readability (the real patch is at the bottom for reference, but it adjusts the indentation quite a bit).

The "structured" way, of course, would be to put everything under
write_out_file into a helper function and just call it from both places
rather than relying on a spaghetti of gotos and switch-breaks.
I'm OK with whatever structure we end up with, as long as it fixes the
leak (and ideally the pessimization).
Anyway, here's the real patch in case anybody wants to apply it and play
with it further.
