Sorry, I tried `dired-auto-revert-mode' not what you said.

You are right, w/ auto-revert-mode ON it matches my expectations: the
link face is updated after changes in the link target.

I am still wondering if the feature should update the face also when
auto-rever-mode is OFF.  I like the behavior that I observe with wdired:

If I change the link target with wdired, then the face is updated.
Nice.  Wish the same with other dired commands changing the link target.
