[Samba] symlinks with missing destination are hidden - can they be shown?

If a directory contains a symlink to a file which is missing, then samba
hides the file when listing the directory.

This leads to unpleasant behaviour on the client:
james at palermo:~$ ls test
james at palermo:~$ rm -rf test
rm: cannot remove directory `test': Directory not empty

The only workaround I have is to remove the directory on the server.
Can samba be configured not to hide the symlink?

thanks,
