I vaguely remember that the symlinks are created by fmtutil.  If true,
probably the order has to be changed in fmtutil.cnf:

It currently is:

  csplain pdftex - -etex -enc csplain-utf8.ini
  pdfcsplain pdftex - -etex -enc csplain-utf8.ini
  pdfcsplain xetex - -etex csplain.ini
  pdfcsplain luatex - -etex csplain.ini

Could you try 

  csplain pdftex - -etex -enc csplain-utf8.ini
  pdfcsplain xetex - -etex csplain.ini
  pdfcsplain luatex - -etex csplain.ini
  pdfcsplain pdftex - -etex -enc csplain-utf8.ini

instead?  

There can only be one symlink at the end and I would expect that last
one replaces the previous one.

Zdeněk, symlinks are generated automatically.  Thus the behavior should
be the same on all platforms.  It would be painful to maintain otherwise.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
