Reproduction steps:

1) Use latest Master and start the server, login as an Admin
2) Create a new page e.g. /page2 in default site and place an Asset Publisher on it

3) Configure the Asset Publisher:

Asset Selection: Dynamic
Display Settings > Asset Link Behavior > View in Context
Display Settings > Asset Link Behavior > Set as the Default Asset Publisher for This Page: Yes

4) Create a new Web Content with title "My content" and set its Display Page to be /page2
5) Navigate to /page2 and click on the web content: the URL will turn to be: http://localhost:8080/web/guest/-/my-content?redirect=%2Fweb%2Fguest%2Fpage2

6) Logout from DXP, open a new blank page in the browser
7) Paste this URL into the address bar: http://localhost:8080/web/guest/-/my-content?redirect=%2Fweb%2Fguest%2Fpage2
8) Inspect the page source in the <head> section:

Actual behavior:

<link data-senna-track="temporary" href="http://localhost:8080" rel="canonical">

will appear

Expected behavior:
The attribute rel="canonical not to be included, or, alternatively, to be there, but the full <link> element to be:

<link data-senna-track="temporary" href="http://localhost:8080/web/guest/-/my-content" rel="canonical">
