Yes, it seems so.

For comparison, doing the same with dev.18 based code works right.
(I had to take out -blink, since this one isn't compiled with slang.)
The equivalent lines from Lynx.trace are
User message: ${HOME}/bin/lynx -nopause -cfg=~/lib/lynx.cfg
'http://www.feedmag.com/feature/cx306_m
aster.html?alert'
stop_curses: done.
LYSystem(${HOME}/bin/lynx -nopause -cfg=~/lib/lynx.cfg
'http://www.feedmag.com/feature/cx306_master
.html?alert')
start_curses: done.
