Comment (by jonoaldersonwp):

 The canonical link has fixed the symptom, though I'd argue that this isn't
 a perfect fix; the page ''isn't'' equivalent to the original, and so I'd
 expect Google's honouring of the canonical ''hint'' to be sporadic.

 We'd get more guaranteed results for this fix by including a meta robots
 tag on the advanced page, with a value of ''noindex, follow''.
