The streetview image posted by advisedwang shows there's also a white-on-blue "must turn right" sign at that junction. This ought to make it clear that you shouldn't wait there to go straight.

Except that the traffic light takes precedence over the sign and thus the sign has no effect whatsoever as long as the traffic light is active.

No, it would take precedence if it had an arrow painted on it, but as it's just a traffic sign, it only controls entry into the intersection, not where you can go.
