Yep, that looks like a bug to me.  I suspect the confusion is due to
SSH_FXP_SYMLINK having its arguments in the opposite order to the equivalent
Unix "ln" command, whereas other (eg FXP_RENAME) are the same as their equivalents.

The next question is what to do about it, and when?  AFAIK, sftp doesn't know
what SSH server is on the other end, except for the SFTP protocol version (it
just runs "ssh -s host sftp").  Maybe fix it next time the protocol version
supported is bumped?
