This is as-designed, since a link-dest copy outputs just the changes.  Think of
it as "what would rsync output if we actually copied into the link-dest dir",
but with the copy going into a new directory.  Sadly, the --delete option does
not work properly (it doesn't mention files that went away compared to the
prior link-dest dir).

As mentioned, specifying -ii mentions even unchanged files, and this output
will output enough information for you to be able to see that they are being
hard-linked.
