Yes, I think there could be arguments for different behaviors, but I suspect the expected behavior should be the same as when you select the link by other methods, such as starting a region at one end and then jumping to the beginning or end of the line with move-beginning-of-line or move-end-of-line. When killing the line or region after that movement, the entire text (URL, description, all brackets) is killed.

Also, when emphasis markers are hidden (org-hide-emphasis-markers t), and the same experiment is performed on a word at the beginning of a line that is emphasized , for example "/italicized/", all of the hidden slash characters are successfully killed. So I think that is another indication that the expected behavior would be to kill all of the characters, hidden or not. 

I think the fact that it is only some, perhaps underused, methods of selecting the text--arrow keys or mouse-dragging--that result in this unusual behavior, also points to the behavior not being intended.
