You need to modify the regexp in `erc-button-url-regexp' to allow
brackets:

(defcustom erc-button-url-regexp
  (concat "\\(www\\.\\|\\(s?https?\\|"
          "ftp\\|file\\|gopher\\|news\\|telnet\\|wais\\|mailto\\):\\)"
          "\\(//[-a-zA-Z0-9_.]+:[0-9]*\\)?"
          "address@hidden&*+\\/:;.,()address@hidden&*+\\/()]")
                                          ^^                           ^^
  "Regular expression that matches URLs."
  :group 'erc-button
  :type 'regexp)

Or something like that.
