The code of the page is obviously braindead:
[...]om$|.xbox.com$|.microsoft.com$|.microsoft.cz$|.msbpn.com$|.microsoft.co.*", "i");[...]
                                                                        ^^^^^
                      
I don't think this is an error of Links. Do you still think it is?
