record: don't dereference symlinks while copying over timestamps

Previously, we could be calling os.utime (via shutil.copystat) on a symlink.
os.utime dereferences symlinks, so this would have caused the timestamp of the
target to be set. On a read-only or similarly weird filesystem, this might
cause an exception to be raised.

This is pretty hard to test because conjuring up a read-only filesystem for
test purposes is non-trivial.
