However:

Could this be the cause of this problem? If so, why? What can I do?
This actually is happening inside the ExtUtils::Manifest::manicheck()
routine. I'm not exactly sure why it's not following symlinks, but
there might be some kind of reason. My guess is that it's an
accident of their implementation though, which separately does a read
of the MANIFEST file and a File::Find of the current directory, then
compares the results. It seems like it would be better to just read
the MANIFEST and check whether all those files exist.
