The old situation was that the same content was shown at the URL of the 
target page and at the URL of the shortcut page. Duplicate content is 
bad for SEO; many search engines will punish the ranking for a site 
which has duplicate content.

Swap the two pages?

Home
[-] -- subpage A (Shortcut to Home)
     +- subpage B
     +- subpage C

--
