Issue Summary
They don't get picked up the module -- try for example http://sandlådan.nu
Comments
#1
Hm, http://sandlådan.nu, is not a valid URL, so I'm not understanding why it should work.
#2
This really is a valid domain name, welcome to world of IDN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name)

Ah, I wasn't aware that those domains had actually come into practical usage yet. Oddly I don't think that Extlink actually is dependent on the characters in the URL at all. It does some basic matching on the top-level domain name itself ("nu" in your example), but it doesn't care at all what's in the rest of the name.
Doing a practical test, I can't actually reproduce a problem. I've entered this into the body area of a post:
<a href="http://sandlådan.nu">http://sandlådan.nu</a>And it shows up appropriately on output with the extlink class and icon. Note that it's not this module's fault that just "http://sandlådan.nu" is not automatically converted to a URL, that's the core URL Filter that's not picking it up.

Thanks for the answers, I am glad to see that people are working on the case in core.
