<!--- Verify first that your issue is not already reported on GitHub -->
<!--- Also test if the latest release and devel branch are affected too -->
<!--- Complete *all* sections as described, this form is processed automatically -->

##### SUMMARY
<!--- Explain the problem briefly below -->
Given a directory containing files and symlinks, if one tries to copy the directory recursively using the `copy` module and sets `local_follow=no` and `mode=preserve`, the copy module fails with:
```
bad symbolic permission for mode: preserve
```

```
DEFAULT_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE(/home/mbroe/.ansible.cfg) = /home/mbroe/.vault_pass.txt
```

##### OS / ENVIRONMENT
<!--- Provide all relevant information below, e.g. target OS versions, network device firmware, etc. -->
`lsb_release -a`:
```
LSB Version:	:core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch

Description:	Fedora release 30 (Thirty)
Release:	30
Codename:	Thirty
```

##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
<!--- Describe exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal test-case -->

<!--- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->

<!--- HINT: You can paste gist.github.com links for larger files -->

##### EXPECTED RESULTS
<!--- Describe what you expected to happen when running the steps above -->
The file and symlink are copied with their modes preserved.

##### ACTUAL RESULTS
<!--- Describe what actually happened. If possible run with extra verbosity (-vvvv) -->
The file is copied, the link is copied, but ansible-playbook fails with `bad symbolic permission for mode: preserve`.
