#29989: MapAddress directive added to torrc doesn't work for some websites, fails

Please refer to this thread on the TOR Stack Exchange:
https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/19647/how-are-certain-websites-
able-to-override-the-specific-exitnode-you-chose-and-c
If I add the following to my torrc (and restart TOR):
{{{
MapAddress ayefiles.com
ayefiles.com.719FD0FA327F3CCBCDA0D4EA74C15EA110338942.exit
MapAddress duckduckgo.com
duckduckgo.com.719FD0FA327F3CCBCDA0D4EA74C15EA110338942.exit
}}}
then I see that if I visit https://duckduckgo.com/, I'm correctly assigned
to use exit node 185.220.100.252, which corresponds to the fingerptint.
However, if I visit https://ayefiles.com, my exit node will NOT be
185.220.100.252, but instead can be any exit node such as 176.9.53.58 or
148.253.182.141, and will even change if I do a Ctrl+L to get a "New Tor
circuit for this site" which should be a no-op for sites with MapAddress
directives mapping them to a single exit node.
How is ayefiles.com able to hack TOR and prevent it from applying the
requested exit node? Can we stop this from happening?
Finally, if for some reason this is "expected behavior" (though I can't
fathom how) please change this to a feature request to add a way to
specify a single exit node in a similar way to MapAddress, except that
can't be hacked.
