[HTTPS-Everywhere] Unclear rule problem... MyPoints -> Best Buy

MyPoints occasionally sends emails for points deals at BestBuy. The
links in the email go to mypoints.com, but redirect to
deals.bestbuy.com. With HTTPS-Everywhere enabled, they go to
https://deals.bestbuy.com/[whatever], which doesn't exist. This,
despite the fact that there's no rule for bestbuy.com. With
HTTPS-Everywhere disabled, the link works fine. If I disable the rule
for mypoints.com, it still attempts to go to the nonexistant
https://deals.bestbuy.com link.
The links are personalized to the recipient's MyPoints account, so I'm
hesitant to provide one as an example, just in case there's a way to get
into my account from the link (I'd think that shouldn't be possible, but
I'm not certain).
I'm using HTTPS-Everywhere 3.0dev1 in Firefox 12 beta.
