That is on purpose. The idea is that you can create a link like this:
[[ (http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Main/)SomePage(Hidden) ]]
and the link text becomes
SomePage
instead of
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Main/SomePageHidden
It's quite nifty although annoying with URIs that use (). To get the (),
you need to write something like %28 for '(' - I don't remember the exact
numbers unfortuntaely but I'm sure they're in the FAQ.

Don't know... might be possible to disable it, Patrick?
A better approach might be to use a '{}' instead of '()', althought maybe
that would crash with some other markup. I don't know if this can be
changed either.
