But that would be inconsistent with us localising special page names which too appear in URLs only. So in my opinion they should be localized.
Not true: special page names are localised in the JS variables (wgPageName, for instance), and in the class applied to <body>; and of course in links everywhere across the site. The two aren't at all comparable. The comparison of user or page ids is much more accurate.
