No, it's correct, it merely prefers testing security updates over ordinary
testing packages. If you follow the link, you'll see a red "[security]" mark
in the title, and the download link will show you security.debian.org.
I don't see any overly sane way of satisfying both the security freaks who
insist on getting information on security-fixed versions (they asked for
this and so we implemented it), and others.
