Tab links using only the page and app_id has stopped working, is there an alternative beyond querying Facebook each time?

A few days ago these type of links worked: http://www.facebook.com/pages/132456789?sk=app_132465798465 but now they give 404's.

The alternative is link to the namespace of the page like so: http://www.facebook.com/pages/foo/1456798324564?sk=app_134654689794 however to find out the link I'd need to ask Facebook for it, and it seem like since the namespace can change I can't just ask for it once.

Is there another way to use page and app id's to link to tabs without needing the roundtrip to Facebook?

I don't think that first format was ever used on Facebook, i'm surprised it worked.

As far as I can tell the 'name' part of a page URL is arbitrary, so just filling in something there will work, e.g. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tea/194040780316?sk=info

will also work as
