How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
Appears to reproduce consistently, no known conditions
What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?
In all versions up to 22.17, when {dereference: true} was passed as an option to fs.cpSync, any symlinks in the source directory would be dereferenced and their targets copied to the destination.
What do you see instead?
In 22.17, a symlink is created in destination instead of a copy of the symlink's target, which is the same as {dereference: false}.
Additional information
Appears closely related to #58939 and probably has the same blame commit.
