--- Comment #2 from Yuri Victorovich <yuri at freebsd.org> ---
> The -F option checks if your last argument is a directory and if it is, it removes it only if it's empty (see code below).


But this isn't what ln(1) says:
> -F     If the target file already exists and is a directory, then remove
>        it so that the link may occur.

The target of the link in this case is a file .x/ls and it doesn't exist.
