This would be a nice solution. But the main problem is IMHO that it is
not possible to add characters manually when editing the URL because
tin seems to limit the length of the URL-string to the original length
without the ")".

So, it is not possible to add a ")" manually but it is always possible
to delete a trailing ")". At least with my version of tin (2.1.1 from
Debian wheezy).

Therefore and as a handy solution I would allow the closing ")" rather
than forbidding it.
