Indeed. This was a two-part bug. I fixed the first one, but the second
one is non-trivial and yet to be fixed.

The problem is that "idct" in the link description is recognized as
a reference to the radio target <<<IDCT>>>.

In a perfect world, links wouldn't be allowed within link description,
and the problem wouldn't exist, but there's also the following construct
in Org:

  [[http://orgmode.org][file:./unicorn.jpg]]

Obviously, the contents of the link is a link, and, in this case it even
makes sense. That's why links are allowed within links (and therefore
links to radio targets).

This is a limitation from Org syntax: it has no proper way to define an
"image" so it relies on links to display them. If there was an "image"
type object, I could easily allow images within links, but not links
themselves.

Anyway, I'll try to find a workaround.
