I have a similar setup (I used aliases instead of symlinks), although I’m having a different set of problems.

1. Any bundles or themes I install through Preferences don’t show up in the relevant menus. e.g. I installed the LaTeX bundle and Solarized themes, and I couldn’t find them in the app.

2. Loading the Markdown and Multimarkdown bundles crashed the app (for which the crash report is attached).

For a temporary fix, I removed the aliases and just had two (unlinked) copies of the folder, synced using Hazel. This made the two problems above go away, and I haven’t run into any since. Obviously that isn’t a great solution, but it should get it working for you.

I’d suggest a crash report; but otherwise I can’t think of anything.
