Stocks.app in iOS 6 includes a link to Yahoo! Finance. When tapping on said logo,

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Open Stocks.app
2) Tap the "i" (Info) to reveal the Yahoo! Finance logo in the Settings Footer
3) Tap said logo to visit Yahoo! Finance in Safari

Expected Results:

View the Yahoo Finance! website, with a Smart App Banner for the app.

Actual Results:

The "nag" screen to install the app or navigate to the website is presented to the user.

Regression:

(none)

Notes:

This may be something that will be revealed once iOS 6 comes out, but I thought I would share. It may also apply to other Yahoo! links in Weather.app, or potentially even Yelp! in Maps and/or Siri, etc.
