[arch] pacman 3.0.5-2 clobbers directory symlinks!!!

[Mister Dobalina]

I have a small / partition, and /usr on a separate
larger partition. So I have /opt symlinked to
/usr/local, to keep all the application files under
/usr and off of /.

Did a large upgrade today, first upgrading to pacman
3.0.5-2. Things were broken after the upgrade,
discovered it was because /opt was no longer a symlink
but now a directory. Any upgraded /opt stuff was now
in this new directory, but un-upgraded /opt stuff was
still in /usr/local.

Changed /opt back to a symlink, tried to re-install
some of the /opt packages starting with jre, right
away /opt is back to a directory. Downgraded to pacman
3.0.4-2, problem stopped happening.

Now I'm wondering if I had any other symlinks on my
system that might have been clobbered as well...!!
