It's because that link has no name and lynx doesn't "see" it as a link. For
example, with a link like that as "link 3" lynx would display

 * link 1
 * link 2
 *
 * link 4
 * link 5

When you move your cursor down from "link 2" it moves to "link 4" because
"link 3" is not "seen" by lynx. For the same reasons, if you try to remove
"link 5", "link 4" will be removed instead.
