Greetings,

Does anyone know if symbolic links are distinguishable as objects in
the TSM Database backups table (they look like regular "FILE"
entries), or if they are distinguishable at the client (save for the
fact they are tiny)?

Alas, that's a product shortcoming... There is no means provided to
customers for identifying which objects in TSM storage are symbolic
links.  It is certainly information which should be readily queryable
from the client.
