hmmmm... might have found something... please confirm if this works
for you as well...

It seems that the "SYMLINK+=" rule needs to come after the one that
creates the ttyUSB0 device, which is
/lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-serial.rules
So I simply renamed the rule to 61-marvell-kirkwood.rules and that worked :D

Now I have the /dev/sheevaplug symlink again!
