Here is a small patch that fixes this problem:

Use
            (url (url-unhex-string (car splitparts)))

intead of:

            (url (car splitparts))

That will properly unhex all the url. Once I did that URLs are working
very well. it is an amazingly simple set of tools but it works
great. Now I can easily keep bookmarks and selected text in an org
file. It is already one of my can't-live-without pieces of software.

I'll wait for you to release the "new" version of the module.

Thanks again John.
