[bug?] anybody experience priorites inserted in links?

[Samuel Wales]

i am currently on an old version of everything, so please do not take
this too seriously, but it has been around forever.

* [[https://google.com][google]] [or whatever]

if i run org-priority-up, on occasion the priority cookie gets wrongly
inserted into the link description.

just want to know if this is unique to my config or if there are ideas
on it that could help narrow it down more quickly.
