because symlinks are stored in the inode, read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link#Storage_of_symbolic_links

because they were created relatively, meaning e.g. 
 capiinit -> ../../sbin/capiinit
would translate to 
 /tmp/myrestore/sbin/../../sbin/capiinit = /tmp/sbin/capiinit
but the target itself is in
 /sbin/capiinit
if you create a folder /usr/sbin2 and put them there they will find their 
target or better point to the correct target again

investigate some more about symlinks and you will understand. i assume the 
"bug" is resolved then?
