I found the problem and here is a temporary work around.

In the file wp-includes\widgets.php, adding the following lines of code between 1573 and 1574, sort of fixes it:

$stringpos = strpos($link,’http’, 1);
$link = substr($link, 0, $stringpos);

It’s a band-aid solution, it breaks on links that have the text “http” inside them (besides the original http at the beginning of the link).

For example:

http://somecrazyhttplink.com

would come out as

http://somecrazy
