foo/bin/sh -> bash is a relative symlink, points to the same directory that the link itself is in. And foo/bin/sleep is indeed the actually binary as it is supposed to be installed. But you should really be trying
# ls -l foo/usr/bin/sleep
to see where it points.
oops, yes, I was looking at the wrong one ;)
But even then, all other symlinks I've in the --root are correct, they don't point to somewhere outside it.
I guess it depends on whether the package maintainer made it a relative or absolute symlink?
So isn't it a bug in the package rather than in pacman? Shouldn't there be only relative symlinks?
