I am not sure, but in the DTML User Guide I read
that "dtml-if" is caching its variable (to save time,
in case the variable is a costly method call).

I would expect, it works as follows:

  like any DTML tag, "dtml-if" calls its name parameter
  (if it is callable). I expect that the result of this
  call is bound to the variable name.

  This means, "DestinationURL" which formerly was bound to
  a method, is now bound to the result of calling this
  method, i.e. to a string.
