Yes, that's a real problem; when linking to something, you can never be
sure whether the target is a disambiguation page or not.
That's not a bug, it's a feature. Seriously, accidental discovery of
vaguely related things is one of the fun parts of Wiki surfing, and part
of the value of the medium. Let's not go overboard and "fix" things
that are useful just because they seem unplanned.
