Question: How to specify initial (Cauchy) data when given as an equation?

I was trying to verify some solution to pde in textbook using Maple. The book gives the Cauchy data for this first order PDE in the form that Maple does not like when I used it as input. Here is an example

When I typed

 

pde:=u(x,y)*(x+y)*diff(u(x,y),x)+u(x,y)*(x-y)*diff(u(x,y),y)=x^2+y^2;
ic:=u(x,2*x)=0;
pdsolve([pde,ic],u(x,y))

Maple complained

Error, (in PDEtools:-Library:-NormalizeBoundaryConditions) unexpected 
occurrence of the variables {x} in the 2nd operand of u(x, 2*x) in the given initial conditions

In Mathematica it accepts such form of Cauchy data:

pde=u[x,y]*(x+y)*D[u[x,y],x]+u[x,y]*(x-y)*D[u[x,y],y]==x^2+y^2;
ic=u[x,2*x]==0;
DSolve[{pde,ic},u[x,y],{x,y}]

(I have not verified the above answer is correct or not).

Am I doing something wrong in Maple?

Or is there a trick or option or method to allow Maple to accepts such initial conditions? The book I am looking at has many problems where Cauch data is given on such form (i.e. u=0 on specific curve or in 3D on some specific surface). Here is another example

 

Which I'd like write its initial conditions as u(x,1/x)=0 but can not.

I could ofcourse solve the pde without these initial conditions, and then post process the answer to find the constants of integration from the Cauchy data given. But it will be nice if Maple would accept the IC as is.
