Weird bug with cached text files

URLs seem to be really screwed up...

I've got a text file on my site which is indexed by Google.

In the text file, there's a line which includes a URL like so: http;//www.domain.com/. The URL is not linked (since you can't (or at least shouldn't) include HTML markup in a .txt file. The server reports the file type as text/plain.

However in Google's cache of the text file, the URL appears as: <a href="<a href="<a href="http://www.domain.com/">http://www.domain.com/</a>"><a href="http://www.domain.com/">http://www.domain.com/</a></a>"><a href="<a href="http://www.domain.com/">http://www.domain.com/</a>"><a href="http://www.domain.com/">http://www.domain.com/</a></a></a>

Say what?
