Two redirects in router and child router

[milunka]

I saw strange behaviour of aurelia router when i was using router with one child router and both of them use redirect parameter in router configuration. I have prepared forked repository of skeleton-navigation repository where my problem is implemented:
https://github.com/milunka/redirect-problem

For quick review, this is what i am talking about:
app.js - this viewmodel has defined only one route where empty route is redirecting to defined route

import {inject} from 'aurelia-framework';
import {Router} from 'aurelia-router';

@inject(Router)
export class App {
  constructor(router) {
    this.router = router;
    this.router.configure(config => {
      config.title = 'Aurelia';
      config.map([
        { route: 'child',       moduleId: './appChild',      nav: true, title:'Welcome' },
        { route: '', redirect: 'child' }
      ]);
    });
  }
}

appChild.js - in this viewmodel is again empty route which redirects to defined route

import {inject} from 'aurelia-framework';
import {Router} from 'aurelia-router';

@inject(Router)
export class AppChild {
  constructor(router) {
    this.router = router;
    this.router.configure(config => {
      config.title = 'Aurelia';
      config.map([
        { route: 'welcome',       moduleId: './welcome',      nav: true, title:'Welcome' },
        { route: '', redirect: 'welcome' }
      ]);
    });
  }
}

After i try to access application root (http://localhost:9000) i receive error Illegal module name "", same error is displayed when i try to access route after first redirect (http://localhost:9000/#child). Only url which works is whole route to welcome page (http://localhost:9000/#child/welcome).

I think that both url (http://localhost:9000 and http://localhost:9000/#child) may works, but maybe i just didn't understand redirect parametr in router configuration.

Is this still a problem? Any workaround?
