The closing quote of the message merges into the URL inserted with variable $2 thus breaking the link, e.g. "NewUser" has requested an account and is waiting for confirmation. The email address has been confirmed. You can confirm the request here "<http://www.example.org/Special:ConfirmAccounts">. I have inserted <> into the message for better comprehension. I guess quoting the URL should be done with <...> anyway if at all necessary.
I have authored a change that I believe will fix the issue: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/129178/

Yeah, I was wondering why the bot did not act on this commit. Thought that referencing the bug within the top would do the job. Well, next time ...
The patch does not work out. These nasty quotes are still being added to the link. Thus I abandoned the change.
