Vagrant symlink protocol error inside synchronized folder using relative path

Question

I am trying to create a vanilla guest box ubuntu/trusty64with symbolic links using the relative path on the ubuntu host.

> mkdir -p tmp1/tmp2
> mkdir -p tmp1/tmp3
> vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64

Inside the newly created Vagrantfile, add folder synchronization:

...
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
config.vm.synced_folder File.expand_path("~/tmp1"),
                                         "/home/vagrant/tmp1",
                                         :create => true
...

Then bring the box and ssh to it:

> vagrant up
> vagrant ssh

Then cdinto the directory tmp2and try to create a symbolic link to tmp3:

> cd tmp1/tmp2
> ln -s ../tmp3 test
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘test’: Protocol error

Version Information:
