Is transforming links by using getAccessLink() broken?

Hello everyone,

I have got a weird problem at a customer of mine. I have developed some custom web forms according to the document "How To... Create new Web Forms" (http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-22253). Everything worked fine until I realized that transforming links is not possible the way it is described in the document.

Below, you see the example given in the document mentioned above. If I include that into my XSLT-document and try to create some content later on, external links such as http://www.google.com are transformed correctly, however, internal links starting with "TBN://" result in http://<server>:50000/irj/portal/getAccessLink.

<xsl:for-each select="document/elements/element">
     <xsl:if test="@type='furtherreading'">
          <li>
               <a class="wpca">
                    <xsl:attribute name="href">
                         <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="wpc:getAccessLink(string(@rid), string(/document/@locale))"/>
                    </xsl:attribute>
                    <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="@title"/>
               </a>
          </li>
     </xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>

Has anyone experienced the same behaviour? Does anybody know how to circumvent this issue?

I'm using SAP Netweaver Portal 7.3, SP5

Edit: To circumvent this issue, I created another transformation which bases on the default Teaser-Web-Form. That works perfectly.
But I still wonder whether using getAccessLink() is really not possible...
