 Hello,

 This issue stems from a GlotPress ticket that was flagged as being part of
 translate.w.org and not GlotPress.
 Original Ticket - https://github.com/GlotPress/GlotPress-
 WP/issues/785#issuecomment-314417674

 Although the ticket title is about a warning not being triggered we found
 that was intentional but that there was cases where a warning was throw
 when it shouldn't be.

 To me it seems there's something in the regex where a standalone URL and
 one wrapped in parentheses are treated properly and allow the localization
 change, but when the URL is within an HTML link element's href it does
 throw the warning and shouldn't.

 Instance of URL in HTML element that throws warning when localized;
 https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/debug-bar-constants
 /dev-readme/en-
 ca/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=1668546&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=50545119

 Instance of URL in parentheses that doesn't throw warning;
 https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/debug-bar-constants
 /dev-readme/en-
 ca/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=1668549&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=50545113

 Instance of URL by itself;
 https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/debug-bar-
 constants/dev/en-
 ca/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=either&filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=1668532&filters%5Btranslation_id%5D=50545029

 So if you localized the first example you get a warning which isn't
 desired, while the other two instance get by without a warning.

 All the best,
 Cheers
