Could a nonbreaking space be used inside such links to prevent the issue (i.e. )? That seems slightly more robust than trying to rephrase sentences to avoid the issue. It'd even be nicer if those could be added automagically in the tex conversio. I have no idea how that works right now though.

The only known fix is to change the text enough so the link no longer runs across a page boundary. Unfortunately, pdfTeX is pretty unhelpful about identifying exactly where the problem is.
