It shouldn't hurt anything, but if you want it to go away try this:
[area href=function/stock_alert form="mv_arg=[item-code]"]

Alternatively you can replace the hexify function in Util.pm using a
globalsub (in interchange.cfg):

GlobalSub <<<EOR
sub override_hacking {
    package Vend::Util;
    sub hexify {
        my $string = shift;
        $string =~ s/([^\w-])/sprintf '%%%02x', ord($1)/ge;
        return $string;
    }
}
EOR
