Here is a quick script which reproduces the issue on another Ubuntu 12.04 machine,

     mkdir hi
     cd hi
     wget \"http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/free-cad/FreeCAD%20Source/freecad-0.11.3729.tar.gz\"

     git init
     git annex init
     tar -zxf freecad-0.11.3729.tar.gz 
     git annex add FreeCAD-0.11.3729
     git annex unannex FreeCAD-0.11.3729
     echo \"The following links are broken:\"
     find -L . -type l
     
This results in dozens of dead symlinks.
