Which symlink? Which grub version? Please, post some useful information and don't refer to forums.g.o. for bug description.
I think this can effectively be interpreted as a request to ensure that the symlink is created as part of the setup_boot_dir() function in the ebuild. The background is that the symlink was missing and the reporter was told "It should have been created when you emerged grub. If it wasn't thats a bug." Therefore a bug was duly filed. As far as I know, it doesn't get created by grub at all and is only provided by the stage tarball initially. If that view is correct, then I think that it's actually perfectly reasonable to expect grub to create the symlink if it's missing - given that all existing documentation has an emphasis on having a separate boot filesystems whilst still using pathnames that begin with "/boot" in grub.conf itself. Re-opening for consideration.
afaik, grub never made the /boot/boot -> . symlink ... but ive added it now http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-boot/grub/grub-0.97-r5.ebuild?r1=1.6&r2=1.7
