Sigh. I hate inconsistencies like this. Why is Solaris so different from other platforms in this manner? It only adds to brittleness of maintenance of things like this.

there are more those platforms bends for other solaris cases. In case of lrwxrwxrwx symlink match there is similar platform hack used for linux in t/lib/ProFTPD/Tests/Config/ShowSymlinks.pm here:
463
464 # Different platforms' Perl create symlinks with different perms
465 my $expected_perms = 'lrwxr-xr-x';
466 if ($^O eq 'linux') {
467 $expected_perms = 'lrwxrwxrwx';
468 }
