I don't see how this could happen unless you combined the action with
some pasting (such as bracketed-paste). xterm's formatting of the
string is shell-agnostic, and the exec'd "browser" command would only
depend on what the formatted URL looked like.
In either case, steps-to-reproduce seem obscure.
