Why does the false permalink created in page edit not let me change the URL?

  Adding a page to our blog creates an utterly pointless and counterproductive and downright obstructive permalink called https://en.wordpress.com/signup/?blog=1/ + the name of the page. It should be https:// + the permalink for our blog + the name of the page. When I type just such an URL in my browser’s address field, I am indeed able to access the page. But when clicking the link for the page in the page widget while logged in or while an anonymous user accessing the blog, I get the infuriating signup page. Huh?
  Blog url: http://benjohnstoncomposer.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry for the trouble!

  We identified and corrected the issue. The affected blogs are each being fixed individually.

  If yours has not been fixed yet, it should be in a few hours.
