I thought symlinks keep point via a file location memo, like "look at /usr/share/the/file/you/want", which is the old location just after copying, but the new location when you boot from your new device and that becomes root.
A tool that tries to be too smart could try to relocate it.Not sure how it would work out though; you'd probably have to be inside the new system, copying files from the old one, and not the other way around.
