That's probably reasonable. I was just keeping things the way they were 
historically here, but we might as well fix this now.

Done.

I've also fixed a bug in EWW and bug-reference-mode where it would 
return nil for (thing-at-point 'url) if point was at the *end* of a URL. 
It's now consistent with how 'thing-at-point' works by default. (If you 
have two consecutive URLs and point is between them - only possible with 
the custom provider function, I think - it'll prefer the second one.)
