Because the server (at Apple) detects that the user-agent is an iPad and probably sends a redirect to a different URL scheme (the App Store’s scheme in this case).
Just tested out that url, on my iPad, with Dolphin browser, using the desktop mode (different user-agent), and it worked perfectly.
You can verify if this is the case (I bet it is anyway) by intercepting your iPad’s http traffic.
