It seems to me that there is an extra ".." in the previous links, maybe
because ~/tmp/ggg used to be one path level deeper ?

Stow tries to find if the link points into the stow repository; It will
not remove links that point elsewhere. So here I guess the problem is
that stow doen't detect that the extra ".." can be ignored since it goes
through /.

I can reproduce the problem my moving the target directory up one level.
Is that what you did ?
