Using 4.0.5, I've been able to narrow it down to a URL with "-" (hyphen, minus sign) that results in validation error:

Code: [Select]
Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:
Enter a valid web location beginning with 'http://' or 'https://'. EXAMPLE: http://www.mysite.org/

The relevant bug, in case anyone else happens upon this thread and is wondering, is PHP bug number 51192, which unfortunately the forum will not allow me to link to. It was fixed in PHP 5.3.3.
