GitPod: Symlinked gitlab repo is trouble

Overview

I tried to promote the newest GitPod image, but while checking it, certain things didn't work, for example workhorse, webpack, etc. The biggest difference in GitPod is that the gitlab folder is symlinked into the gdk folder:

.
└── workspace/
    ├── gitlab/
    └── gitlab-development-kit/
        └── gitlab/ <-- symlink to /workspace/gitlab

I assume that the recent changes to file paths (maybe: !2054 (merged)?) break when sub directories are symlinked.

Steps to replicate (optional)

Follow the test steps in gitlab!60384 (closed) or symlink the gitlab directory locally.

Proposal (optional)

N/A

Environment (optional)
