Yes, I tried a few graphical file browsers (Thunar, Caja, and Dolphin),
and they all move the symlink, not the target, to Trash.
After getting my test setup straightened out, I think I have a fix for
the symlink issue and for the issue that Gustavo originally reported
(cross-filesystem trashing fails when there's already a directory with
the same name in Trash).
I've committed these fixes separately; see attached. Gustavo, can you
try these out and make sure they handle your use case(s)?

Okay. I'm not planning to follow up on this, Gustavo, so if you'd like
to lobby for a change to rename-file, you'll need to open a bug for it
(if you haven't already).
