Comment (by xkon):

 Sorry @afercia you are correct I had messed up files. Same file as spocke
 says plugin.js arround 410 line we have :

 `if ( linkNode = dom.getParent( imageNode, 'a' ) ) { `

 This is what is causing the extra <a> to appear as it moves the image out
 of any link that has extra content. I've just tested it with console.logs
 and that's what triggers every time the empty <a> is created.

 I'll play around with that when I get home in case I find a solution. I've
 also checked spockes code but didn't change anything here. I'll retest it
 when back home.

 Best regards,
 Konstantinos
