I feel, for external links, protocol must be included.. this is necessary to differentiate filetypes (for example sample.jpg) from external links. http:// will yield http: as the type and it can be used in others catergory to provide protocol dependent rendering like a special rendering for utube videos or other flash players.

hence, i don't think it really is bug, rather a necessity of including protocol, to maintain the consistency with files. (we have to also consider that '.' is allowed in filenames morethan once, so www.sample.jpg is a valid file where as http://www.sample.jpg is not)

i welcome further suggestions

requiring an explicit http:// (or other protocol) is probably fine to avoid any conflicts. Thanks for the clarification.
