Feed links to mobile web apps from iPad/iPhone/m.facebook.com repeating the directory structure "apps/[Namespace]" two times. This causes feeds to fail to work, resulting in 404.
Example: Clicking on a cityville feed produces this link "http://m.facebook.com/apps/cityville/apps/cityville/Reward.php?frHost=20164762079&frId=b244f87b0d760a153074b5bd8176c9df&frType=rollercoaster_cottoncandy_blue&localID=2451&sendKey=46326b9f244a35ea1e4251f4c786d780%24%24ckF%28N-OV%2163rTa%2CMYch-qA%21%2C%29f-6pYBGTo8Q%21dbk34G%2ARVRY64icx%29FMG7rjw4-q07GZ2YyG%2ChF9a5iYyG%2ChF9a5i&sig=7d2d424c043315ad751a5ecdca049489&sendkey=46326b9f244a35ea1e4251f4c786d780%24%24ckF%28N-OV%2163rTa%2CMYch-qA%21%2C%29f-6pYBGTo8Q%21dbk34G%2ARVRY64icx%29FMG7rjw4-q07GZ2YyG%2ChF9a5iYyG%2ChF9a5i&fb_source=feed&ref=feed&refid=8&_ft_=qid.5761144690380313575%3Amf_story_key.3005033703765" Notice that "apps/cityville" appears twice.

Steps to Reproduce:

Configure an app to have a mobile web, but no Native iOS or Android apps. (Example Cityville 291549705119).
1. View a post stream publish feed from that app.
2. View that feed iin Facebook Native iPad.
3. Click the action link or image.

Expected Behavior:

The m.facebook.com mobile app url should successfully load.

Actual Behavior:

The "apps/[NAMESPACE]" directory structure is repeated twice in the link, causing it to 404. Example: http://m.facebook.com/apps/cityville/apps/cityville/Reward.php?frHost=20164762079&frId=b244f87b0d760a153074b5bd8176c9df&frType=rollercoaster_cottoncandy_blue&localID=2451&sendKey=46326b9f244a35ea1e4251f4c786d780%24%24ckF%28N-OV%2163rTa%2CMYch-qA%21%2C%29f-6pYBGTo8Q%21dbk34G%2ARVRY64icx%29FMG7rjw4-q07GZ2YyG%2ChF9a5iYyG%2ChF9a5i&sig=7d2d424c043315ad751a5ecdca049489&sendkey=46326b9f244a35ea1e4251f4c786d780%24%24ckF%28N-OV%2163rTa%2CMYch-qA%21%2C%29f-6pYBGTo8Q%21dbk34G%2ARVRY64icx%29FMG7rjw4-q07GZ2YyG%2ChF9a5iYyG%2ChF9a5i&fb_source=feed&ref=feed&refid=8&_ft_=qid.5761144690380313575%3Amf_story_key.3005033703765
