Did you try this as root, which is where the original "/dev/null dissapears"
problem shows up?

[/tmp]3 id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel) context=valdis:staff_r:staff_t
[/tmp]3 mkdir z9
[/tmp]3 touch z9/foo
[/tmp]3 chmod 0 z9
[/tmp]3 rm z9/foo
[/tmp]3 ln -s /dev/null z9
[/tmp]3 ls -l z9
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Oct 30 10:20 null -> /dev/null
[/tmp]3 rm z9/null
[/tmp]3 ls -ld z9
d--------- 2 root root 40 Oct 30 10:21 z9

Hmm.. and even the 'ln' worked even when z9 was chmod 0. ;)
