This doesn't solve your problem, but I was able to completely replicate what you're seeing.

I tried to get cute and create that URL as a new page, with a shortcut of "External" and your URL, and then link to that EPiServer page, instead of directly to the URL.  However I got the same error when I went to edit the link because, behind the scenes, EPiServer uses the external URL in the LinkCollection, not the EPiServer page.

I think the problem you have is that EPiServer thinks your link is to a document over in File Management.  Since it starts with a "/" but doesn't resolve to an internal page, EPiServer is convinced it's a document, and is trying to resolve a path to it (which it can't, because of the querystring).

Based on what I'm seeing, the solution is to either delete and recreate the link each time, or just use the absolute path, domain name and all.  I hope I'm wrong.  Sorry I couldn't give you a solution.
