 OK! After a few tries I can limit the case to when the sending user is
 using [http://mail.google.com/] with a Hebrew interface.

 Debug messages:

 The URI I sent myself was:
 {{{

 mans-done-lots-his-damn-mind/
 }}}
 But clicking to it on the message window opened a browser with:
 {{{

 mans-done-lots-his-damn-mind/%E2%80%AC
 }}}
