### Please provide a link to a minimal reproduction

### Describe the Bug
When a DNS record is O2O, worker routes matching does _not_ work as expected. In this case, the _only_ pattern that seems to match is `*/*`.
## Cloudflare Account A (SaaS customer)
### DNS
```
mysite.com CNAME gateway.saasprovider.com (proxy status: proxied)
```
----------
## Cloudflare Account B (SaaS provider)
### Workers
Note: in reality, these workers routes are not set via wrangler, but I'm showing it that way to simplify. The behavior is the same.
#### `gateway_worker`
```
{
"routes": [
{
"pattern": "gateway.saasprovider.com",
"custom_domain": true
}
]
}
```
#### `gateway_worker_beta`
```
{
"routes": [
{
"pattern": "mysite.com/*",
"zone_id": ""
}
]
}
```
With this configuration, a request to `https://mysite.com/` will be incorrectly routed to the `gateway_worker`, even though the pattern matches for `gateway_worker_beta`.
The request is routed to `gateway_worker`, only because of the `custom_domain` on the worker. Without it, you'll get a Cloudflare error page.
If the record is _not-proxied_ (gray cloud), it will be routed to `gateway_worker_beta` as expected.
The only way to intercept these orange-clouded requests with a worker route is by using a `*/*` pattern, which in our case is not an option.
