So using the clue from Nathan I was able to get mine working. So let me share:
I'm using Win10 and Minecraft installed on C: (ssd) and my folder 'roaming/.minecraft' is a Junction point (aka Link) to 'D:/Minecraft/.minecraft'
With the 2.0 Launcher this stopped working, To get around this...
Right click the Minecraft tile or menu and choose More and choose Open File Location.
Right click the Minecraft shortcut and choose properties.
In the Target box, after the MinecraftLauncher.exe" I added the --workDir option. So my Target is now:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\MinecraftLauncher.exe" --workDir G:\Minecraft\.minecraft
This seems to work fine with out the lockDir nor config options needed.

Now as for this being "Resolved". Hmm, I consider this more of a Hack to bypass a bug in the software. A resolution would be the launcher correctly following OS links.
