Just tried this with 10.7.1 on my laptop.  I created a directory in /tmp; sym-linked it to another in /tmp; created a file in TextEdit; and then saved it to the sym-linked directory w/o a problem.

What version of 10.7?  What does "ls -ld" show for dir_orig and dir_link?

Is "word" (I assume that's the app you used) "fully 10.7-aware" [whatever that may mean]?  Have you tried it with TextEdit?  Any other apps?
