NPM doesn't create symlink for transitive binary file on global npm install

Question

I have library which exposes binary file pointing to binary file from another installed dependency, package.json's part example:

  "bin": {
    "foo": "./node_modules/.bin/foo"
  }

When I publish it and then install it globally using npm install -g, I expect NPM to create symlink in $(npm prefix -g)/bin folder, but it didn't. If I do symlink manually, I can exec foo as expected. Is it expected NPM behaviour when dealing with transitive binary files?
