Comment:
I am the author of the patch on #9764.
It seems however that the problem you are describing has nothing to do with IDN handling
pre-se but rather that the TLD in your example
(which is one of the [http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/# IANA IDN test
TLDs] (click on
IDNs)) has "too many" characters for the URLValidator regex which assumes that TLDs have 6 characters at most.
So the solution could be to
either lift the restriction on TLD length or to add special handling for IDN TLDs (which are easily enough to distinguish,
as they begin with "xn--" in IDNA encoded form) to the regex.
