Links to unlisted galleries appearing in public galleries

I mentioned this here, I'm putting the topic here as a bug.
Here's the scenario: some of us have unlisted galleries that have content we want to selectively make available to smart galleries, external links, and those to whom we give a URL. Legacy SM would keep those images and galleries unlisted in smart galleries (contrary to the response we received in the above thread).
Here's an example of what shows up under a Legacy-SM smart gallery image:
When logged-in though, owners have a link to the original gallery with emphasis that it's for the owners "eyes only" (again, contrary to the response we received in the previous thread):
The New Smugmug apparently works differently and puts a link to the hidden gallery under each image, somewhat defeating the usefulness of the unlisted galleries (at least the way I use them). Here's what a preview of one of my smart galleries looks like, the last line is a link to the hidden gallery:
Unfortunately - and in large part to this bug - I'm not prepared to unveil my "new" site, so I can't confirm that these links are actually showing up to the general public. Based on the wording of the link (ie: the lack of the "for your eyes only") I assume they're publicly viewable/clickable links.
At this point I'm considering this a pretty major security bug or - at the very least - pretty undesirable behavior if it can't be controlled.

(my gallery name ends in (private), it's not added by SmugMug)
Please check out my gallery of customisations for the New SmugMug, more to come!
So now that it appears to work correctly, I'll just add that adding the "for your eyes only" type thing would be nice
