Nemo is correct. s: would point to frwikisource, wikisource: points to
enwikisource, oldwikisource: points to www.wikisource.org (only project that
does this).  This also applies to w: vs. wikipedia:.

I am WONTFIXing this as it is by design, and "fixing" it would break many
links.

If we just look at frwiki (as including all wikis would be huge), we can
compare
http://tools.wmflabs.org/pirsquared/iw.php?wikis=frwiki&iw=wikisource&hideclosed=on
(only 1671 rows) to
http://tools.wmflabs.org/pirsquared/iw.php?wikis=frwiki&iw=s&hideclosed=on
using a script (warning: 31724 row table) I wrote based on one Nemo used. 
Clearly it is easier to fix the links on-wiki than to fix all wikisource iw
links on each wiki to be wikisource:en:.
