The linkTo helper is creating <a> tags with an href that looks like this.
<a id="ember561 class="ember-view" href="/orgs/<Organization:ember349:17>">
The url is actually the string representation of the object. The expected functionality is to link to /orgs/17 where 17 is the id of the context object.
The context I'm passing to linkTo is a model with an id, I'm sure it has an id because I can print out this.id in the template.
#template
{{#each orgs}}
{{#linkTo 'organizations.show' this}} {{this.id}} {{/linkTo}}
{{/each}}
#router
Router.map ->
@resource 'organizations', path: "/orgs", ->
@route 'show', path: ":id"
@route 'new'
When I click on the messed up link, it transitions to '/orgs/<Organization:ember349:17>' and that page has the correct model set.
I can print {{id}} from that template and it is correct.

Your show route needs to define the model if you're using the default serialize method.
In that case I assume :organization_id
Router.map ->
@resource 'organizations', path: "/orgs", ->
@route 'show', path: ":organization_id"
@route 'new'
