Sorry, I'm failing to reproduce exactly this here. For me it doesn't make any
difference whether the bib db is a symbolic link or not.

Please note that entry from the 1.3 changelog:
This version of rubber has changes in the dependency management.
As a result, it may call LaTeX more often than it used to.
On the other hand, there are less corner cases when LaTeX or
BibTeX should have been called, but wasn't.
So, one could argues this to be a bug, for now I lower the severity to minor.
