That's to be expected. A URL covering several lines _can_ be
copied (selected) when the line wrap is "uninterrupted". It
will even work for double- or triple-click (select word, select
line) with the normal edit buffer (left swipe to select, in
Firefox middle click or mousewheel press to go to URL). As the
'+' character will be part of the wrapped URL (which can span
several lines), the URL will be wrong, as you've seen.

If I remember correctly, there's a way to disable the line break
emphasizer ('+' character) in the display. Have you tried
set markers=no
in your ~/.muttrc? Or was it
unset markers
Something with "markers"... I'm not fully sure if this is the
setting you're searching for, but go ahead and try it.
