Clicking on or copying a link with an ! in causes the ! to be encoded as %21. While HTML encoding weird characters is often good, it's breaking in this case as many sites use a #! combination in Ajax-y URLs to make them crawlable by Google but don't unencode the URL client-side when making the request (see http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/docs/getting-started.html for details).

Did you see this with a particular protocol or have steps to reproduce? Thanks!

I can't confirm this with the links I tried, so resolving as WFM.
