Using version 1.2.8, it seems like timestamp information (ctime/mtime) is not saved properly for symbolic links.

Here's a simple example to reproduce the issue:

root@backup0:~# rdiff-backup -V
rdiff-backup 1.2.8
root@backup0:~# mkdir orig bkp
root@backup0:~# cd orig/
root@backup0:~/orig# touch a
root@backup0:~/orig# ln -s a b
root@backup0:~/orig# cd ..
root@backup0:~# ls -l orig/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 27 sep 05:35 a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1 27 sep 05:35 b -> a
[... waited for 1 min]
root@backup0:~# rdiff-backup orig/ bkp/
root@backup0:~# ls -l bkp/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    0 27 sep 05:35 a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    1 27 sep 05:36 b -> a
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 27 sep 05:36 rdiff-backup-data
