I had similar problems (Vista 64 Ultimate). My final solution was to not link the wow.exe files and just copy the patched one into each folder. I still have the data, cache, and interface folders symlinked. I hope that helps you too. I know I used to have a TBC patch but thats gone now, and I wonder if the patch isn't right in the exe now.
This is basically what I have resorted to doing. I have a main WoW folder I use to play all my solo characters. All my multiboxing copies link back to the solo folder. When there is a new patch, I make sure to download and patch it on the solo exe. After it is done and I've accepted the new TOS/EULA, I copy all the files in the top level directory over all the clone folders. You don't need to copy anything in folders below the top level since those will either get rebuilt, or they are liked to the updated master.
