Hi Leo,

I could reproduce this, but I don't know if this is really a bug.
(I never heard of protecting spaces with angle brackets.)

You do not have to protect spaces, because the URL is surrounded by the
square brackets. I could only insert angle brackets into a link by
editing it manually; when you edit a link with C-c C-l and enclose the
URL in angle brackets, Org will automatically remove them.

HTH, Jan
