I am not sure if this is a bug or enhancement. It is a moot point until there is a patch to apply. A patch would need a test that fails now and passes with the patch. From the Wikipedia article, it appears that a test using mklink /J would not run on XP and would have to be skipped. I would not expect an XP buildbot to necessarily have the Server 2003 Resource Kit needed for an XP test. Does _delete_junction_point(link_path) work on XP or should the feature be restricted to Vista+?
