Most users wouldn't put the anchor tags in a link. And they probably shouldn't as twitter does the equivalent of a php htmlspecialchars on posts. But if you look at your home page twitter renders urls as links even if you just pasted a url into a post.
Is it really necessary to parse posts to detect urls and wrap anchor tags around them? I don't think this problem is specific to /users/ lookup.
