No it is not; it is doing exactly what you asked for.

Specifically, when you press the TO_CLIPBOARD key, it first asks
you whether you want to save the URL of the current document or of
the current link.  It then runs the command $RL_CLCOPY_CMD with the
approrpiate URL on standard input.  This command is supposed to copy
the text to your clipboard, although it could do anything you want.

RL_CLCOPY_CMD is an environment variable that you can set before
executing Lynx.  If you are using an X11 system and have 'xclip'
installed on your system then

export RL_CLCOPY_CMD='xclip -i'

would be an appropriate setting to let Lynx copy URLs to the clipboard.
