runit's runsvdir stat(2)s the directory it's passed to determine if new 
services have been added or removed, but this doesn't handle the case of 
an existing symlink being changed to point to a different service.

Reading runsvdir's man page, it doesn't say anything to imply that this 
operation should be handled, but I believe this differs in behavior from 
svscan from the daemontools package, so perhaps the difference should 
at least be documented?

Yes, it differs and should be documented, I also happened to run into
this.

Thanks, Gerrit.
