[JENKINS-40522] "Started by" link on downstream jobs does not work correctly
This seems to affect only downstream jobs (downstreams, downstreams of downstreams, etc.).
In correct.png, the "Started by GitHub push by iphydf" text links to https://
In incorrect.png, the "Started by GitHub push by iphydf" text links to https://
Job shown in incorrect.png is a downstream of the job shown in correct.png.

Raw content of original issue
This seems to affect only downstream jobs (downstreams, downstreams of downstreams, etc.).
In correct.png, the "Started by GitHub push by iphydf" text links to https://<my-jenkins-url>/job/libtoxcore-toktok_src/43/pollingLog, which is the correct URL.
In incorrect.png, the "Started by GitHub push by iphydf" text links to https://<my-jenkins-url>/pollingLog, which is incorrect URL and it returns 404. It should link to https://<my-jenkins-url>/job/libtoxcore-toktok_src/43/pollingLog instead, but it doesn't.
Job shown in incorrect.png is a downstream of the job shown in correct.png.

We have the same problem in Jenkins 2.150.3. For some projects it works and for others it doesn't work.
In cases aa_messaging-trunk #1349 (failed) > aa_jif-trunk #2052 (modified, success) aa_emailversand-trunk #1616 (succcess) > aa_emailversand_client-trunk #819 (success) > aa_jif-trunk #2052
the link doesn't work in aa_messaging, aa_emailversand and aa_emailversand_client, but it works in aa_jif-trunk #2052.
In cases
ko_gewerbe-trunk #764 (Tests failed) > ko_kern-trunk #8059 (success)
the link works and points to ko_kern-trunk pollingLog job/ko_kern-trunk/8059/pollingLog.
The link doesn't work for all the builds of aa_emailversand and aa_messaging and works for all ko_gewerbe and fi_ilis.
Maybe it depends on the job configuration? With aa_jif we have not changed the configuration since 2017 and increased Jenkins-Version several times. The configurations of ko_kern and ko_gewerbe were changed in 2019-02.
