Sorry, I can't reproduce here, using this test:

    mkdir repo &&
    cd repo &&
      git init &&
      echo content >file &&
      git add file &&
      git commit -m one &&
    cd .. &&
      ln -s repo linked &&
    cd repo &&
      echo cruft >>file &&
      git stash &&
      echo non-linked directory stashed ok &&
    cd ../linked &&
      echo cruft >>file &&
      git stash &&
      echo linked directory stashed ok

What version of git are you running (though I tried a few different
ones, and all passed my test)?
