:cache_path strangeness

I’ve noticed that using an example like this one shown in the docs has some issues with URI escaping:

caches_action :feed, :cache_path => Proc.new { |controller|
     controller.params[:user_id] ?
       controller.send(:user_list_url, controller.params[:user_id], controller.params[:id]) :
       controller.send(:list_url, controller.params[:id]) }

When I do this, the :myroute_url methods return URLs with escaped parameters, as one would expect, but for some reason Rails unescapes these strings by the time it uses them to store the cache blob. This is messing up my cache expiration routines, because they keep track of the escaped versions of the urls that are returned by the routing methods, not the unescaped versions. It would be easier if Rails didn’t do any magic to the string and simply used exactly what you pass to cache_path.
