Problems with shortcuts in OpenFileDialog

I'm having difficulty handling shortcuts (.lnk files) in an
OpenFileDialog control. From all the documentation I can find,
setting DereferenceLinks = True should resolve the target of the
shortcut, but I am always returned the full path to the .lnk file.
I've added code to demand FileIOPermission is Unrestricted, but that
made no difference. Any insight from someone who's solved this, or
just validation that it's a known bug would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas
