That's what I have noticed sometimes ago, when authoring HTML with Arabic IDNs. My link looks fine in the status bar, but don't go to the expected location on click. The href attribute is in %xx%xx version, and the IRI displays like that in the address bar. NVU for example, puts the %xx%xx in the href attribute, even it you type native (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-international/2007JanMar/0089.html, the third case). It is the case with your examples bellow. The link texts are different, but the link location (href ) is the same in all cases (http://%c3%b6bb.at/).
