Turns out the explanation is simple. The URI is all one word (no whitespace), so when it gets to be wider then the width of the body it will overlap the navigation menu simply because it contains no eligible wrapping points (or so I've been told, in any case). I've tried experimenting with inserting invisible whitespace (zero-width space) at strategic locations, but unfortunately it seems like browser support for this (even in Mozilla) is too weak. Pity. Guess we'll have to live with the overlap for now.
