   Emacs pick the word under point and add "http://"; to it to form a valid
   i.e. there is a change from invalid to valid that is not...

how about adding a variable: `thing-at-point-url-autoprefix-p'.
if nil, consider the case w/o "http://"; to be invalid, so
that (thing-at-point 'url) => nil.  if t, do what it does now,
which is (from thingatpt.el 1.43 from cvs) to heuristically
add one of either "ftp://"; or "http://";.
