Re: ls -L [some symbolic linked file] not working

It's not a bug; it is the way links work. A link between files lets you reference the second (linked-to) file by the name of the first (linked from) file.

I think the issue is that this behavior seems to contradict what the man page says:
-L If argument is a symbolic link, list the file or directory the
link references rather than the link itself. This option cancels
the -P option.
