David Crossley commented on FOR-738:
------------------------------------

I did some investigation. Adding such an entry to the seed-sample site, shows 
that it fails there too. However, it just gives a simple broken link message, 
whereas in a dispatcher-enabled site it gives that stack overflow.

Some other observations about a skins-enabled seed-sample site: Everything is 
fine for the left-hand navigation menu. The entry will display properly and the 
link is correct. However, when linking from the body of a document, then the 
link fails.

Also the same behaviour with forrest_07_branch: okay in the menu and broken in 
the body.

Another observation from our "site-author" docs where we use such "site:" links 
for the pluginDocs tab. The links display properly on the sub-tabs.

To summarise: Using such a link in the body of a page, gives the normal broken 
link message in both skins-enabled and dispatcher-enabled sites (remove the 
"label" attribute of the site.xml entry). With the skins-enabled site, the 
navigation menu works properly. With the dispatcher-enabled site, the 
generation of the menu pipeline fails with a "stack overflow".
