pod-to-html rendering of <code>-embedded link loses the href attribute

[karenetheridge]

https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::ETHER (version 0.111) generates pod containing this:

There is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at
L<C<#distzilla> on C<irc.perl.org>|irc://irc.perl.org/#distzilla>.

(carriage returns added in snippets below for readability)

pod2html turns this snippet (correctly) into:

<p>There is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at
<a href="irc://irc.perl.org/#distzilla"><code>#distzilla</code> on <code>irc.perl.org</code></a>.</p>

But on metacpan.org, the rendered html is:

<p>There is also an irc channel available for users of this distribution, at
<a><code>#distzilla</code> on <code>irc.perl.org</code></a>.</p>

As you can see, the href attribute of the a tag is totally missing.

I'm pretty sure the actual problem is linking to the irc: scheme.
