[Cooker] Chmod inconsistent?

[Maxim Heijndijk]

When I do:

chmod -R 755 /tmp/symlinktodir

then chmod recurses over the symlink and changes every file/dir to 755

But:

chmod -R 755 /tmp

will not recurse, and skip the symlink.

This seems inconsistent to me. Moreover, chOWN does NOT traverse over 
symlinks either way.

Can this be considered a bug?
