Comment:

 I agree this can be closed without a fix.

 While the intent is good, the escaping functions are only needed for user
 input. As the URL is hard coded in this instance, escaping isn't required.

 It's a nuanced point and I realise that the inconsistently in WordPress
 contributes to the confusion, so I really appreciate your taking the time
 to open the ticket @monzuralam
