I think that this is even a bug in zsh, as

ypig:~> echo symlink/../vlefevre/symlink2(:A)
zsh: no match

So, it seems that resolution as been done correctly (it is
detected that symlink/../vlefevre/symlink exists but not
symlink/../vlefevre/symlink2), however the output for the
former one /home/vlefevre/vlefevre/symlink doesn't exist
(there's no vlefevre file or directory in /home/vlefevre).
