Yes, it looks as though you've built a link with stdWrap without first
'turning off' the auto-generated TMENU link. Try adding
"NO.doNotLinkIt = 1" (it's also in the original ML post that I guess
you're working from [1]).

[1] http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-english/2005-November/015843.html

But it looks like you're totally rebuilding the link, including the
link text. Any reason why you need to do that (i.e. since you only
need to change the href attribute of the link)?
