Are you sure this is a new behavior?

I believe this is an IE feature. If IE recognizes the content of the 
link as an URL, it will replace the content of the link with the new 
URL. In your example, I think there is not much that can be done other 
than for the user, after the link is set, to erase the part of the URL 
that (s)he does not want to see. Or use Firefox :-)

Best regards,
