Actually, isn't this OK? I mean, the relative path should be escaped, so
it won't have any reserved characters.

For instance, this is what nautilus does in
nautilus_file_get_symbolic_link_target_uri():

      file_uri = nautilus_file_get_uri (file);
      escaped_name = gnome_vfs_escape_path_string
                   (file->details->info->symlink_name);

      target = gnome_vfs_uri_make_full_from_relative 
                        (file_uri, escaped_name);
      g_free (file_uri);
      g_free (escaped_name);
      return target;
