This is the way python routes works, it's pretty embedded behavior in
libraries we don't control.

While one could argue they should be equivalent, the docs are pretty
straight forward about what the correct links are, and we only generate
working links in our references.

There are many issues that we should address in the API, this one
probably doesn't crack the top 100.
