Is it correct that one is char and the other is chat?

In any case, please file a bug, and attach a tcpflow dump of the  
network transaction. It looks like something is misinterpreting  
"chat:" as a protocol instead of a host name, but I can't tell just by  
guessing

It sounds like this is something Safari RSS is doing, probably it  
converts the URL to a feed: URL by stripping off the "http:", and  
prepending feed:, but then it mistakenly thinks chat: is the URI of  
what the feed: protocol points to. But it's hard to be sure without a  
reproducible case, and I'm not sure why the query would affect this.
