-f seems to have same behavior as -l; also, symlink not working

[vaughnkoch]

vaughn /temp/ag $ ls
bar foo
vaughn /temp/ag $ cat foo/one.txt
This is a test.
vaughn /temp/ag $ cat bar/two.txt
This is another test.
vaughn /temp/ag $ ag test
./bar/two.txt
1:This is another test.

./foo/one.txt
1:This is a test.
everything is as expected so far ---

but, this seems to have the behavior expressed by -l
vaughn /temp/ag $ ag -f test
./bar/two.txt
./foo/one.txt
vaughn /temp/ag $

note: --follow correctly tries to follow symlinks (unlike -f), but has an error:
vaughn /temp/ag $ ln -s ../ag_symlink/ symlink

vaughn /temp/ag $ ll
drwxr-xr-x 3 vaughn wheel 102 Apr 17 17:30 foo
drwxr-xr-x 3 vaughn wheel 102 Apr 17 17:30 bar

lrwxr-xr-x 1 vaughn wheel 14 Apr 17 17:39 symlink -> ../ag_symlink/
drwxr-xr-x 5 vaughn wheel 170 Apr 17 17:39 .

echo 'This a test via symlink.' > symlink/three.txt

./bar/two.txt
1:This is another test.

./foo/one.txt
1:This is a test.
ERR: File ./symlink failed to load: Invalid argument.

I tried relative and absolute symlinks but got the same 'invalid argument' error.

Whoops. I've been using --follow so I never noticed.
