When I right-click, the link tooltip changes to the longer string. I guess the longer string becomes the real URL then.
At least, thanks to that deceptive replacement, Google might be making it easier for you to follow the proper link directly using something like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-search-link-fix/
