Yes, I assume that is because we are using a erc-button-syntax-table
while matching buttons -- because when we are looking at nicks, we
want to consider all these weird characters as "word" characters --
but when we are looking at punctuation following an URL, they should
no longer be "word" constituents.

Currently we use ("<URL: *\\([^<> ]+\\) *>" 0 t browse-url 1) for
URLs.  Perhaps we should use goto-address-url-regexp instead.  Its
value is:
"\\<\\(https?://\\|ftp://\\|gopher://\\|telnet://\\|wais://\\|file:/\\|s?news:\\|mailto:\\)[^]	\n \"'()<>[^`{}]*[^]	\n \"'()<>[^`{}.,;]+"
