Are you actually seeing increase disk usage because of this?  I ask
because I noticed the other day that our /QOpenSys contains a symlink to
itself.  I don't know how it got there.  We do have PASE installed,
though we're not actually using it at present.  But being a symbolic
link, the data shouldn't actually be reproduced (should it?).  I should
think it would be safe to remove the  link: anything that relied on it
would be seriously buggy.  Though I haven't actually removed ours yet...

FWIW, here's the relevant chunk of wrklnk '/QOpenSys/*' for our machine:
