Shlama Albion,
Not exactly sure what you mean, but I think they appear to have "changed" because long URL's get shortened in the hyperlinked text of the URL itself. I don't think there's any funny business going on.
For example,
A short URL like <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://abc.com/">http://abc.com/</a><!-- m --> doesn't get shortened, but if I put a really long link like this <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=on&q=aramaic+peshitta+interlinear&btnG=Search">http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe ... tnG=Search</a><!-- m --> it appears to get shortened. It's only the hyperlinked text that actually gets shortened. This is probably to keep a long link from messing up the formatting of the page, and as you said, it won't work if you copy and paste it in your browser because your actually copying text and not the hyperlink itself.
I hope that made since. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif" alt="" title="Huh" /><!-- s --> <!-- s:lookround: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/lookround.gif" alt=":lookround:" title="Look Round" /><!-- s:lookround: -->
