I'm not sure why it's not collecting spaces and punctuation, I haven't
looked at that code in a long while and I think it's changed since I last
looked at it. However the behavior of picking up href tags on a noindex is
completely correct.

This would be a bug. Why should it add empty descriptions?

That particular line is a very bad hack. For one, it should create a new
string to contain that value. I don't remember whether it was a patch or
something I wrote very early in the morning. In any case, I'll see if I can
whip up a patch for empty descriptions and this bug.
