It turns out that the line I mentioned above is actually relevant only
in some cases, as it applies only when linking to an item in the current
file.
The regex that cause the problem in most cases is line 10343:
(when (string-match "^\\(file:\\|docview:\\)\\(.*\\)" link)
In this case, insert link will also fail if the filename happens to
contain a new line (a corner-case, I admit!).
