Summary links webpart checked-in content causes links break in production

Question

We are using a publishing portal with content deployment setup between two site collections in same web application. One site collection is authoring site with URL /department/author and other site collection is a read-only production site with URL /department. If we have a page a.aspx with summary links webpart and page is in checked-in state and we do content deployment, the page moves to production site but URL's for links in summary links webpart remain /department/author, which is fine since the content is in checked-in state, now we publish the content in authoring. Content is in published state, then do a content deployment to production the links in the summary links webpart on the page in production  is still /department/author which result in access denied error, infact the page cannot be opened anymore. Can some one tell us if this is a known behaviour(BUGGG) in Summary Linka webpart and any work arounds to fix the same?

Hi,

We attempted to repro this but was not able to.  Do you have any further details on how you configured your content deployment and how the web application was configured?
