exit code 23 - inappropriate error for copying symlinks?

Hi,
I've just created a small directory as an example, it holds a file and
two symlinks that don't point to anything, and another symlink going
nowhere in a subdirectory.
rsync (2.5.5) is happy to copy these but produces an error. I can't
see why it considers this an error? It's not even aborting after it
first encounters this 'error'.
