I have not tried yet, but the magic happens in the analyzeRecord() function 
in tx_linkvalidator_processor.php.

Would you mind sending me your extension, then I can have a look at it and 
see if there is a simple fix for linkvalidator.

BTW, it seems that linkvalidator read some softref entry from TCA:
$conf = $GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['columns'][$field]['config'];
that should look like this:
$TCA['tt_content']['columns']['bodytext']['config']['softref'] = 
'typolink_tag,images,email[subst],url';

If you can confirm that this is a bug, please file a bug report at:
