Oops, I read what I thought you were saying instead of what you were.  That
behavior is documented in the man page:

This option works best when copying into an empty destination hierarchy, as
rsync treats existing files  as  definitive
(so  it never looks in the link-dest dirs when a destination file already
exists), and as malleable (so it might change
the attributes of a destination file, which affects all the hard-linked
versions).
