The problem appears to be the ur1.ca shortening service. When a URL has already been shortened by the service, it returns a page that says so but never offers the existing shortened URL. I don't know if this is new or if this behavior was always there and for some reason I am tickling it now. Either way, I had to protect against this, because it ruins messages to have the word "failure" randomly appear! I have checked for "failure" and skipped the shortening when this happens. This is available in tag v1.1.4 onward.
The problem is that when the ur1.ca shortening service is applied to URLs in a message (for shortening), this seems to result frequently in "failure" appearing in place of the shortened URL.
