open that should fail succeeds

fs = pyfakefs.fake_filesystem.FakeFilesystem()
fs.CreateDirectory('/Volumes')
fs.CreateDirectory('/Volumes/ramdisk')

if False:
    os0 = os
    shutil.rmtree(ROOT_PATH)
    os.mkdir(ROOT_PATH)
    opener0 = open

component0 = "alpha" 
path0 = ROOT_PATH

path0 += os.path.sep + component0 
component0 = "beta" 
path1 += os.path.sep + component0 
os0.symlink(path0,path1) 
file0 = opener0(path1,'a') 

OS returns IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Volumes/ramdisk/test/beta'

The 'a' in the open could also be a 'w' and it still fails
