it seems pretty evident that your /etc/udev/links.conf
is pointing to /infra/system-1.0/udev/links.conf and not
/etc/infra/system-1.0/udev/links.conf

As you can see above this is NOT the case (/etc/udev/../infra/whatever = /etc/infra/whatever). I have also verified this again on the system itself.

Even though symlinking config files might be unusual, I did not find anything in the policy or any documentation about this being discouraged or unsupported. It worked quite fine in the past, both with Debian and with other distributions like Gentoo. If you tell me which file to examine to find the bug, I'll try to provide a patch. This "feature" is quite critical to me.
