There is currently no logic/code in place that indicates that those 3 pages should not be shown for private (login required) forum. So yes, it’s the intended behavior.

I can repro this, it’s a valid bug. I will fix this so `/about` link will not be visible on header for private forum. And, going to `/about` link directly will redirect anonymous user to login page.
