You could map \\smbserver\foo to drive Y:, say, and then symlink to
Y:\ instead of the server. Doesn't that work and allow you to hide
the implementation just the same?
An alternative is to make a local change in compilation-find-file to
not use file-truename (assuming that the problem in bug#8035 can never
happen to you).
Anyway, you are fighting Windows here, so I can only wish you good
luck in that fight. (And maybe some day they will remove this
limitation from cmd.exe. More improbable miracles have happened...)
