this was addressed in 2.8.5 dev 4:

2001-11-08 (2.8.5dev.4)

* modify LYLegitimizeHREF() change from 2.8.4dev.21 to eliminate newlines from
  the HREF rather than converting them to spaces.  This fixes a problem with
  www.ebay.com which splits up HREFs with newlines.  Changing the newlines to
  spaces made the HREF no longer match, e.g., when it was built up from
  a CGI script (report by Morten Bo Johansen) -TD

The current version of lynx is 2.8.4

It's available at
