This is a side effect of the "Attempt to detect all links 
(even in unknown..)" option checked.
"Option" tags should not be parsed at all, actually. I'll 
try to fix this problem, as the link value change can 
actually be worse than doing nothing..

Well, maybe. But I suspect this option to be potentially 
way too complex for most users. I had to implement limited 
regular expressions (not regexp compliant) for this reason, 
too.
