In an empty HOME directory, run the following shell commands:

mkdir -p ~/foo/bar
ln -srf ~/foo/bar ~/.emacs.d
emacs -Q

In emacs, type the following elisp in the scratch buffer:

(progn
  (setq find-file-visit-truename t)
  (package-install 'vertico))

Then type 'C-x C-e' to evaluate.  Once Emacs is done evaluating, type
'C-x C-c' to quit from emacs.

In the shell, run 'emacs -Q' again.  Then type the following elisp in
the scratch buffer:

(package-initialize)

And type 'C-x C-e' to evaluate.  Then type 'M-x' and 'vertico-mode' in
the prompt.  Emacs will complain that it could not open the load file
for vertico.

Currently I use this snippet to patch the issue up:

(defun faerryn-patch-package-find-file-visit-truename (oldfun &rest r)
  (let ((find-file-visit-truename nil))
    (apply oldfun r)))
(advice-add #'package-install :around
            #'faerryn-patch-package-find-file-visit-truename)
