Thanks for reporting that.
It sounds like a problem with the lib/lstat.c wrapper.

I think I know what the problem is.
Whereas older implementations of fts.c (the hierarchy
traverser used by du, chmod, chgrp and chown) called
"lstat" on each name, now it uses openat and company.
That means the old lstat wrapper won't be used where it counts --
at least not by that code.
Solaris 9 may require a wrapper for open like the one for lstat.

Please run these commands and send the resulting "full-log" file
to this list:

(
  cd /home/menzel/src/3.4/coreutils-6.5/src
  ./rm -rf d slink && ./mkdir -p d/1/2 && ./ln -s d slink
  truss -o log ./du slink/
  cat log
  rm -f log
) | tee full-log
