I read the comment in parentheses as an superfluous note that the
directory to link from changes while descending into subdirs. But of
course it descends, too, thus "changes".

This is wrong. It should be "--link-dest ../1" to be relative to the
destination. Works here as expected. Could you try this with 2.6.2,
please?
