What about only ignoring the result of readlink when it starts with
/opt/maemo? I.e., symlinks into /opt/maemo are not considered to be
symlinks at all.

I think this could work nicely, but it would also increase the amount of
surrealism in Maemo significantly...

Where would you consider that change made? Every point in Python where
it calls readlink()? libc?

...to say the least.

Yes. Every point where it uses the result of readlink to adjust its
module load path. There can't be that many...
