I actually tested this a month back and not all operations/programs respect link counts nor does the system appear to enforce them. For instance an rm -f will destroy the file regardless of link count, as well as some obscure APIs. After the file was removed the mapping program crashed when trying to read more of the file; it failed to load new map data.

I'm surprised to hear that. If it's true, that would be some kind of OS bug. You should file a bug report, or at least bring it up on filesystem-dev, if you haven't already.
