So it's not a symbolic link. This is a long shot, but you could try displaying the inode numbers for the two files with the -i option

~:$ ls -id .
189997 .
~:$


You actually have to be root to create a hard link to a directory, so I don't think it's very likely that this is the source of the trouble.
