No, it's probably checking for the ability to go to an http*s*:// url (a
secure site, which Yahoo!Mail passes through for authentication when
logging you in. I just checked, and when you log in, you go (very
quickly) through an https:// url, then back to the regular http:// Yahoo
site. This occurs even if you use the standard login (as opposed to Secure).
I just compiled links and went to Yahoo!Mail, and saw the same message,
but using the "click here" link took me to my mailbox no problem.
If that does not work for you, here are my USE flags:
emerge -pv links
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] www-client/links-2.1_pre18 +X +directfb +fbcon +gpm
-javascript +jpeg -livecd +png +ssl +svga +tiff +unicode 0 kB
Apparently links does not support automatic redirection (it's a very
simple browser, after all), though perhaps it does with javascript
enabled-- but, no thanks.

As for the "dead keys":
links --help
links [options] URL
Options are:
<a whole lotta stuff snipped>
Keys:
ESC display menu
^C quit
^P scroll up
^N scroll down
[, ] scroll left, right
up, down select link
->, enter follow link
<-, z go back
g go to url
G go to url based on current url
^G go to url based on current link
^R reload
/ search
? search back
n find next
N find previous
= document info
\ document source
| HTTP header
* toggle displaying of image links (text mode)
d download
s bookmarks
q quit or close current window
^X cut to clipboard
^V paste from clipboard
^K cut line (in textarea) or text to the end (in field)
^U cut all text before cursor
^W autocomplete url
Alt-1 .. Alt-9
switch virtual screens (svgalib and framebuffer)
I don't know what you expect ^A to do, but ^X and ^V are already
assigned to relatively "standard" functions (at least I associate ^V
with paste; I don't cut much, so ^X means little to me, but yeah, "cut"
sounds about right).
Check the list above for the function that you expect ^A to perform, and
then learn link's key combo for it.
