It doesn't work through symlinks (?)

It took me while to discover why, now finally I think I've got it: Timimi doesn't work though symlinks.

In Firefox I have in my bookmarks the same tiddlywiki twice: one points at file:///mnt/data/…, and one at file:///D:/…, where - in Linux - /D: is a symlink to /mnt/data that I set up to help me smooth the friction of jumping between Windows and Linux.

If I open my tiddliwiki though the direct bookmark (file:///mnt/data/…), it gets saved correctly, but if it's open through the symlink (file:///D:/…), then it doesn't get saved. To make things worse, it won't give any warning at all: I click save, it happily shows "Saved wiki", and I go on with my work, only to discover later that I wasted an afternoon.
