Strange architecture under /etc/X11/

There seem to be 00s or even 000s of strangely configured links under
/etc/X11/, all taking the form a -> a. Often (always?) the link a -> a is
located in a directory called a.

eg 

	/etc/X11/rstart/commands/x11r6/x11r6

and any number under /etc/X11/xserver/ such as

	/etc/X11/xserver/en_US/en_US

This seems to me to cause havoc with file handling resulting in multiple
error msgs "No such file or directory" or "Too many levels of symbolic
links".
