at least, can i have a comment if this is an intended behavior or not?
cybot: This is a known issue. The Link Manager doesn’t much care for links in unknown protocols.
You could always simply hard-code these into the sidebar instead of using the Link Manager.
I’m going to fix the bloody link manager one of these days. It would be nice if it didn’t stupidly try to second guess the user’s input there.
Yes, would be nice sometimes! So far, Otto, you seem to be the only one who sees the problem or cares….

thanks for the reply – so i will just comment out this url rewriting in the code
i don’t think that it is necessary to rewrite links added by an admin or editor …

ok, i have fixed this in my local code by just commenting out some line of codes:
in wp-includes/functions-formatting.php
lines #1056-1059
in wp-admin/admin-functions.php
line #505
also, this lines do not use the same filter for protocols – possible there should be used a configurable option where you can insert allowed protocols or all
at least they are missing some important protocols: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI_scheme
