I recently saw something that also looks to be related to this issue.
On a windows laptop, "My Documents" and "My Pictures" are synchronised to the sever to separate folders. Since the installation of 3.14.0, the 'My Documents' sync included the standard hidden junctions: "My Music", "My Pictures" and "My Videos". Some files in both "My Music" and "My Pictures" were sent to the server with also some "Unknown server errors" in the log.
When I checked https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/4770, it describes local junction contents being deleted if they are removed from the sync list so for now I just added the folders to the exclude list.
My investigation was prompted by some performance issues where I saw nextcloud taking more CPU then usual and also being unresponsive whilst opening the drop down list of folders in the sync connection. Reverting to 3.13.4 avoids any performance issues.
I can collect more detailed logs if they would be useful.

Bug description
With the latest Nextcloud client on Windows 11, I started seeing upload errors with "unknown" in the client. After inspecting, I traced the errors to a Directory symbolic link I created from a share within my Nextcloud sync folder to another sync folder. I tested with Junctions and saw the same effect.
Steps to reproduce
The same applies to Junctions:
Observe Nextcloud attempting to upload files again
Observe Nextcloud to fail after scanning files with "Unknown Server error"
I have both folders as individual shares:
Other observations:
*.lnk
), it is not synced (only the *.lnk file is synced, as expected)Expected behavior
Directory Junctions are not synced, as is documented.
