In general, you can't use syntax tables to give satisfactory URL DWIM
recognition. Both of these things are common:
There's a web page (http://foo.bar)
and
There's a web page http://foo.bar/lala_(yes)
The latter is very common with Wikipedia URLs.
So I think for this to work with erc, I think it would make sense to
separate out the URL recognition in erc from other buttons, and base it
on browse-url-button-regexp instead, which has worked out these kinks
and is pretty DWIM.
And then you can change the syntax table to make the other, simpler
buttons (for nicks etc) work.
