@denis-g thank you for your report.
If this issue is actual for Enterprise Edition only, please address it to Magento Support.

Confirm the same bug in CE 2.1.1

@denis-g , @pavelnovitsky
You can use the src=".." attribute for proper behavior. It will be processed and converted to href="..".
Some additional notes – Page layout instructions on devdocs.

Also, there was created an internal issue for the proper handling attributes and their merging: MAGETWO-59371.
Please, stay in touch.

As for Magento 2.3-develop you cannot add href attribute to the link:

If the src attribute is used instead, the url is generated absolutely fine:

Closing the issue as it was not reproduced on 2.3-develop instance.
