Strange `link` behavior

[aa6]

In this little example https://github.com/aa6/nodejs_fuse_tests/blob/master/util/fuse-bindings_hardlinking.coffee when I try to call fs.link on a mounted fs, it calls gettattr on linking target, then calls getattr on non-existant-yet hardlink file and never calls the link function to actually create a hard link. What is wrong here? Readfile at the end is used to ensure that fs is working.
Output:
