+git-annex actually has very similar behavior to git. Consider from your example:
+
+       joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xx/git-annex-link>git annex get link-to-level1/file
+       error: pathspec 'link-to-level1/file' did not match any file(s) known to git
+       Did you forget to 'git add'?
+       get: 1 failed
+       
+Compare to:
+
+       joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xx/git-annex-link>git rm link-to-level1/file
+       fatal: pathspec 'link-to-level1/file' did not match any files
+
+If anything, it seems that the bug is in `git-annex info` for behaving 
+differently in this case when run on a file behind a symlink.
+
+Also this is not a problem if you `cd` to the symlink and then run commands
+operating on relative files.
