symlink bug?

Hi, this thingie has happened to me:

$ mkdir a
$ mkdir a/b
$ ln -s a/b c
$ cd c
$ pwd
/home/szekeres/c
$ touch foo
$ ls -l foo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 szekeres szekeres 0 Apr 6 14:13 foo

Now comes the interesting part:
$ mv foo ..

Here I expect that foo will be moved to /home/szekeres, however:

$ cd ..
$ pwd
/home/szekeres
$ ls foo
ls: foo: No such file or directory
$ ls a/foo
a/foo
$ ls c/../foo
c/../foo

Shall I consider this a bug or a feature? :)
