This is definitely not intended, thanks for reporting. Because of relatively low number of people are manually assigned mentors, I'm inclined to ignore this issue for now and let T264343: Have a special page for mentors to sign up fix it (as that will include migrating from an unstructured wikitext to a JSON page, similar to what #growthexperiments-communityconfiguration does).
