This reminds of me the "don't leave a redirect" functionality when moving a
page. The functionality was originally added only to the API's move action and
eventually it was declared that API functionality and UI (index.php)
functionality at Special:MovePage should not intentionally diverge like this.

That is, index.php?action=purge should probably include the
force[recursive]linkupdate parameter as well.

Or that parameter should be removed from both, depending on its justification
and utility.
