Seems like this issue can't be fixed completely in the current OE design.
The text is inserted inside link as HTML and this causes problems with special chars.
But if we encode them, this will break links that contain other tags (may be bold text, or custom inline tags).

The only thing I can do is to encode chars when you just select the text and make a link. This will fix the bug as reported, but if you insert a link by pasting the same text in the dialog box, the bug will appear again.

Also there is an another (proper?) way: do not allow to edit text of existing link inside a dialog box and don't use this text at all. Although this requires rewriting of the corresponding parts of OE.

Cannot reproduce in OE 5.0, closing issue.
