This bug seems to only appear with relative symlinks. I only use
absolute symlinks in my store and it doesn't show up, but with relative
symlinks it does:

% pass find foobar
Search Terms: foobar

% pass find test
Search Terms: test
└── company
    └── admin -> /home/ciil/vcs/work-credentials
        └── atlassian
            └── admin-test

% ln -s site.gpg site-test
% pass find foobar
Search Terms: foobar
└── site-test -> site

Probably something something shell globbing? My passmenu was originally
also not playing nice with links, so I changed it to use `find` instead.
Maybe you can rewrite the pass find function to use `find` as well.
Another possible workaround in this case: only use absolute links.

Cheers
Simon
