grub2: symlink on reiserfs: error: file not found

Robert Millan asked me to produce a test case and send it to this mailinglist.
I'm not very familiar with doing so but this should work:

echo "Testfile" >/boot/test
ln -s /boot/test /test

The diskimage http://www.chbmeyer.de/1.reiserfs.gz has a size of 35 MB (compressed: 36kb).
"ls (hd0)/" works well
"cat (hd0)/test" produces: error: file not found

Thank you for your great work
