Cannot reproduce this either on emacs 23.1.1 or emacs 24.0.50 - the only
versions I have available here. org-mode is from earlier today.

The word-wrap documentation suggests some interaction with
truncate-lines and truncate-partial-width-windows, so that might be a
path of investigation.  But when I try setting truncate-lines to t
(which does truncate long lines even though "Wrap" is still on the mode
line) and then do (visual-line-mode 1), the variable is set back to nil
again. In any case, inserting links does not cause any other changes, no
matter what I set the variable to.
