TYPO3 Core

When upgrading a 4.6 LTS installation to 6.2 LTS, I stumbled on a change in the bevaiour of html links, regarding the domain part of the link.

The easiest way to show the issue is by setting up a vanilla 6.2 with demo content and then creating a page with the enclosed typoscript as extension template directly on the page.

page = PAGE
page.10 = TEXT
page.10.value = <a href="https://$player.getUrl()?param=value">Testlink</a>

In typo3 4.6 LTS the link was rendered exactly as it is.

In typo3 6.2 LTS I get a partly encoded string back:

<a href="%24player.getUrl%28%29">Some text</a>

Disclaimer: I know that what I do here is a bit non-standard, as we use typo here to serve some email templates for another system and $player is a variable which is parsed later.
