In that case, where one legally has to use the sidepath, the main roadway

no.
It is an implication and as I tried to say, there are exceptions (if
the usage of the cycleway is not reasonable, be if for its condition
(snow, state of the paving, littering, parked cars, ...)
Just like you're allowed to drive (with extreme care) on the wrong side
of a dual carriageway if a fallen tree is blocking the correct side.
or because it
goes where you don't want to go, say you wanted to turn left and it
goes straight).
Good point. Perhaps a modification of local could cover this case (use
only if it's locally the shortest path)? Or maybe we could just leave
the highway untagged and trust that a cyclist will know the rules, since
what really matters is when one cannot make a certain movement by bike
(hence it's important to tag sidewalks on one-way streets bicycle=no if
there's a legal prohibition).
