Actually it looks like he is just getting extra links, which seems to remind me of a Safari issue and the Doc type that is set. If I remember correctly I ran into an issue similar to this where Safari was attempting to fix my HTML to fit my specified Doc-Type. So if I had to guess I would say that what ever Doc-Type you are setting does not allow <li> to be a child of the <a> tag. Try moving your link inside the <li> and see if it still produced unexpected results.
