I’m not sure if it should be fixed, it depends of the interpretation of each
symbol.

Previously (in all-http mode) the lock emphasized the link is in https
(exception to the http standard protocol) and the blue arrow simply indicated a
link.

Now in https, given external links are also used for internal links (link to
action=edit for instance), fixing this bug would mean many locks would appear
in https mode and I’m not sure it is desirable for internal external links (at
least). It could also be argued that the blue arrow is a "normal" link and the
lock has the special meaning of emphasizing an https link.

Else to solve this issue, a solution could be to have a special icon for
protocol-relative links which would be different in http or https mode (special
configuration of the server/Apache). It’s a bit complicated and not easily
deployable/packageable, perhaps not possible. Or it could be indicated in
mediawiki.org as a customization for sysadmins.
