Comment:

 Verified on received & sent messages on XMPP, MSN, Yahoo. Other protocols
 I don't have active buddies to test with.
 It happens for all buddies.

 '''Although:''' based on the behavior I witnessed, my estimation is that:
 Google Talk wraps everything with these BIDI chars (at least on my Hebrew
 conversations), and the URI comes with this character appended.
 I copied the URI to test on other protocols and indeed reproduced, but
 then I checked in vim to find that I'm pasting this string with <202c>
 attached.

 So, I guess a solution would be to ignore such characters in  links'
 targets.
