Since you haven't mentioned what kind of symlink (hard or soft) you use
I tried:
Test #1
c:\TEMP>mklink /J C:\Temp\LinkToFolder G:\Test
Junction created for C:\Temp\LinkToFolder <<===>> G:\Test
In DC++:
Unfinished files folder set to E:\DCPP\Unfinished\
Finished files folder set to C:\Temp\LinkToFolder\
Download of small and 10MiB> files both work (they're moved differently,
small files async, large files threaded) and landed in G:\Test (expected
result)
Test #2
c:\TEMP>mklink /D C:\Temp\LinkToFolder G:\Test
symbolic link created for C:\Temp\LinkToFolder <<===>> G:\Test
Same settings in DC++, same result in downloads test.
Test #3
I tried to simulate your directories and downloaded a folder structure
and filename same as in your example.
c:\TEMP>mklink /D C:\Temp\LinkToFolder "G:\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related"
symbolic link created for C:\Temp\LinkToFolder <<===>> G:\Emerson Lake & Palmer
+ Related
At download folders are created and file landed in the target as expected.
("g:\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related\elp 1974-05-25 Ahoy Halle, Rotterdam,
Netherlands cdr\Disc 1\ELP 1975-05-25 d1t06.flac" file exists)
Test #4
In DC++:
Finished files folder set to C:\Temp\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related\
c:\TEMP>mklink /D "C:\Temp\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related" "G:\Emerson Lake &
Palmer + Related"
symbolic link created for C:\Temp\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related <<===>>
G:\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related
At download folders are created and file landed in the target as
expected.
If I misunderstood you and should try something differently please let me know.
Otherwise it is something else. Make sure you try to download the very same
files to the very same link and structure in both versions.

Title:
DC++ .870 fails to follow symbolic links
Status in DC++:
Incomplete
Bug description:
After upgrading to .870 DC++ will not follow Windows symbolic links
when moving files from DC++ temp to the final destination.
I have many messages like this:
[09:43] Unable to move <N:\DC++temp\ELP 1975-05-25
d1t06.flac.PUW3JQHMQ2KI2JVXXELJYN7EIH6KCZGUXFM44TY.dctmp> to
<N:\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related\elp 1974-05-25 Ahoy Halle,
Rotterdam, Netherlands cdr\Disc 1\ELP 1975-05-25 d1t06.flac> (The
system cannot find the path specified.); renamed to <N:\DC++temp\ELP
1975-05-25 d1t06.flac>
The path N:\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related is a link to a folder on
another drive.
I can manually move the files so I know the link is working correctly (from a
non-elevated command prompt):
N:\DC++temp>move "ELP 1975-05-25 d1t06.flac" "N:\Emerson Lake & Palmer +
Related\elp 1974-05-25 Ahoy Halle, Rotterdam, Netherlands cdr\Disc 1"
1 file(s) moved.
I have had to back off to .868, where this worked fine
