I suppose you're right; the specification is terse, and I guess it can be read in a different way.
I'd like to suggest adding another option to du to establish the behavior I want.
What behavior do you want? I hope it's not the pre-8.6 behavior, which had the properties documented in <http://bugs.gnu.org/17546#8>, where files with link counts > 1 were counted only once while files with link counts == 1 were counted multiple times.
Is there a version of du somewhere that behaves the way you want? (Solaris, FreeBSD, etc.?) That might give us insight as to what would be a good option here.
