App linking is not working for Alibaba

Project Member Reported by patilr@google.com, Jun 15 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.86 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install Alibaba app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alibaba.intl.android.apps.poseidon&hl=en)
2. Click on button "Get Latest Price ON APP” button on page-”https://m.alibaba.com/page/test3.html” 

Observe that the app linking works and Chrome is able to open the app

3 click on “Get Latest Price ON APP” button on page -”https://m.alibaba.com/product/60167549346/syftest-don-t-attachment-english-normal.html”
Observed results : App linking will not work. 

What is the expected behavior?
App linking works for both the page: 
https://m.alibaba.com/product/60167549346/syftest-don-t-attachment-english-normal.html

https://m.alibaba.com/page/test3.html

What went wrong?
App linking works only for page : https://m.alibaba.com/page/test3.html

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? N/A

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.83  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

 What I found out is: 

The “Get Latest Price ON APP” button on page-”https://m.alibaba.com/page/test3.html” has the following href:         
 	<a data-domdot="id:1209,ext:'glponapp=1'"  href="https://m.alibaba.com/dynamiclink?spm=a2706.7835515.1998800312.9.b7tyPa&amp;ck=wap_glp&amp;language=en&amp;schema=enalibaba%3A%2F%2Fdetail%3Fid%3D60167549346%26action%3Dglp" data-spm-anchor-id="a2706.7835515.1998800312.9">Get Latest Price ON APP</a>

The “Get Latest Price ON APP” button on page -”https://m.alibaba.com/product/60167549346/syftest-don-t-attachment-english-normal.html” has the following href: 
<a data-domdot="id:1209,ext:'glponapp=1'" href="https://m.alibaba.com/dynamiclink?spm=a2706.7835515.1998800312.9.Inc81N…guage=en&schema=enalibaba%3A%2F%2Fdetail%3Fid%3D60167549346%26action%3Dglp" data-spm-anchor-id="a2706.7835515.1998800312.9">Get Latest Price ON APP</a>

I am not sure on how Chrome is able to fire an intent in the first case (https://m.alibaba.com/page/test3.html ) without adding the custom intent as suggested in this page: 
https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents

Please note : if they add the custom intent by encoding href on the anchor and changing the app manifest file accordingly, then the issue is not reproducible. 
ex:
<a href="intent://dynamic/#Intent;scheme=zxing;package=google.com.applinkingsample;end">

 However, Alibaba team wants to know if its a bug on Chrome as the ap linking is working in page ”https://m.alibaba.com/page/test3.html ” and not working for page- ”https://m.alibaba.com/product/60167549346/syftest-don-t-attachment-english-normal.html
It works while I remove AppLink intent filter for "https://m.alibaba.com/product/60167549346/syftest-don-t-attachment-english-normal.html"
