No, and that sounds like the right thing to do. Tagged wontfix and closing.

Reproduction:

0. Get a Mac
1. Download the most recent Emacs 26 nightly from 
https://emacsformacosx.com/builds
2. Symlink a file in a dir to another file in another dir
3. C-x C-f some prefix to the symlink
4. TAB for completion
5. Completion completed the path with an extra /
6. RET
7. Emacs opens up the dir as a new file in a fundamental mode buffer

Expectation:
Completion should not complete the symlink as a dir, opening the dir as
a regular file instead of dired should also not be possible.
