As far as I understand, this is not a bug: #+begin_html ... #+end_html
is for writing literal HTML that will be included in HTML output.

Thus, if you only care about the link appearing in HTML output, just use
literal HTML:

#+begin_html
<a href="http://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-3.0"><img src="http://img.shields.io/:license-gpl-blue.svg"></a>
#+end_html

(That is hand-translated...you should check whether it is the right HTML for your document.)
 
Best,
Richard
