url_for and rake routes differences

I am caching and expiring pages/actions/fragments in my code and I've come across a really frustrating problem

In my routes I have prefixed all controllers with the :locale. This works well for the most part. When I cache a page/fragment it is cached to /en/whatever etc... as expected

However when I try to expire the page/fragment the locale is not prefixed to the url but added as an option ?locale=en (ie the routes.rb directive is ignored)

I inserted a url_for statement into my controller to debug this issue and I see the same behaviour.

As a result the cached code is not being expired.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong

Here is a pastie with all the code http://pastie.org/515309

Anyone have any ideas?

Not an answer, but perhaps a clue....

Found in vendor/rails/railties/guides/source/i18n.textile is this line:

Every helper method dependent on +url_for+ (e.g. helpers for named routes like +root_path+ or +root_url+, resource routes like +books_path+ or +books_url+, etc.) will now *automatically include the locale in the query string*, like this: +http://localhost:3001/?locale=ja+.
