Comment (by Marie-Aude):

 Just an additionnal information, pushing for a solution, this generates
 also problems with WooCommerce external _product_url url that uses esc_url
 for sanitization

 Unfortunately, Zanox (one of the largest affiliation portal in Europe)
 uses opening and closing brackets in its affiliate urls.
