[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Wrong rel="canonical" and prev/next only on front page

    WordPress version: 3.3.2
    WordPress SEO version: 1.1.9

    I expected the plugin to do this:

    It seems that the paginated links from my main front page show the wrong links in your SEO plugin (same on the default templates and I use the ‘latest posts’ and not ‘static page’ method).

    Essentially they should be reflecting the fact that I have a custom ‘Permalink’ structure, which puts an /index.php/ into the URL. Don’t ask why but this is necessary for my setup. My custom permalink structure is thus “/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html”. Works fine for almost everything.

    Instead it did this (example taken for page 3 of my front page):

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/page/3" />
<link rel="prev" href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/page/2" />
<link rel="next" href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/page/4" />

    Now if it was working correctly that should show as:

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/index.php/page/3" />
<link rel="prev" href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/index.php/page/2" />
<link rel="next" href="http://www.mysite.co.uk/index.php/page/4" />

    The plugin works fine on all other pages, but it refuses to reflect “/index.php/” from the front page.

    I was able to remove the canonical line by using this in functions.php.

    add_filter(‘wpseo_canonical’, ‘__return_false’);

    But the same doesn’t work for ‘wpseo_next_rel_link’ or ‘prev’ link, which is odd as the API Doc’s suggest they should. Any idea how to get rid of these?
