Ok.  I think I've got it.

Try this:
mkdir /home/test2/test3/
echo hello > /home/test2/test3/index.txt
ln -s /home/test2/test3/ /home/test/test3
chmod -x /home/test2
lynx http://localhost:8091/index.txt

A similar setup gave me the error you found.

The problem is the file permissions on the target of the symlink. One
of the parent directories of the path leading to your file does not
give search permissions.

So this was a configuration issue all along, but was made difficult to
diagnose by an innacurate error message in the error log.  I believe
the error message bug is reported here:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28515

I believe this is the problem.

It would have been immensely useful to have a better error message here.

Thank you!
