Comment(by deryni):

 Sorry for the delay. Do those characters show up in your logs (I'm going
 to guess that they do)? I think this has to be a Google Talk bug since I
 doubt they have any reason to actually be sending that character at the
 end of a URL. (And I can't imagine pidgin is adding them, though I suppose
 that is possible.)

 Does normal text send that character (I'm not sure how you'd tell other
 than by checking your log, assuming they show up there)?

 I don't think we can just ignore those characters in URLs because they are
 perfectly legal there. A plugin could be written to look for them at the
 end of URLs and strip them when they come from a Google Talk user (or more
 easily just an XMPP user) though I guess.
