Trouble editing posts with embedded link to another thread

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I can't tell exactly where I'm supposed to do it.  So sorry if this is the wrong place.

Anyway, I was going in to edit the post containing the latest chapter in my Fire Emblem: Ascension project (seriously, somebody please give it some feedback so I can have a better idea of what people think of it, it's in Written Works) when something odd happened.  The post originally contained an embedded link to the project's feedback thread, but when I tried to save my changes, I got a message saying:

"This comment can no longer be edited. It may have been moved or deleted, or too much time may have passed since it was posted for it to be edited."

...and I couldn't save it.  But when I got rid of the embedded link and replaced it with a plain hyperlink, my edits were saved.

Is there a reason for this?  Obviously I've found a solution to my little problem, but I'm just curious.

I had that happen when editing a PM once. It appears to be a fluke in the system.

Ooh, how fun.  So much for the "this is not for forum bugs" warning.

Really, where is this supposed to go?

Yeah they really need a forum bugs place...

General maybe?
