cp: copying dangling or nested symlink results in error

[SuperSandro2000]

I have the following directory structure where the file two points to a none existing file.

 tree -h a/
 a
└──  c
   └──  d
      └──  2 ⇒ ../../d/c/1

When copying with uutils-cp I get

$ result/bin/cp -r -- a 2
cp: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Using gnu-cp works just fine and recreates the dangling symlink.

Also experience the same error when copying this directory from the nix store

result/bin/cp -r -- /nix/store/ayddsfvxqa8khxg5f0n5ysbml69m5cvf-source source
cp: '/nix/store/ayddsfvxqa8khxg5f0n5ysbml69m5cvf-source/misc/minetest-icon.ico' -> 'source/misc/minetest-icon.ico': No such file or directory (os error 2)

This should also be fixed by #2426 (I checked the example #2422 (comment))
