I use links to hide the > implementation of directories: one or more servers, or local disks. 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...)
