Problem with using global forwards with tiles:

I have these two global forwards:
 <global-forwards >
   <forward name="person" path="/person.do" />
   <forward name="search" path=".search" />
 </global-forwards>

The first one points to a "person" ActionMapping.  This works perfectly in
the tag <html:link forward="person">

The second one points to an entry in the tiles-def.xml:
   <definition name=".search" path="/layouts/pageLayout.jsp">
       <put name="header" value="/tiles/headerTile.jsp" />
       etc.
   </definition>

But <html:link forward="search"> produces a link ending with:
/layouts/.search
That's definitely not what I have in mind!!!  (Googling the issue seems to
suggest that this should work.)

Any clue on what the problem might be?
