I think I've understood what's happening. http: and mailto: URIs are different, because the http: needs double slashes (like in http://a.org) while mailto: doesn't (like in mailto:[email protected]), hence discount parses the document in search of <uri>: like tokens to catch both. Given that upskirt does not support mailto: it can simply search for <uri>:// which may be the reason why it doesn't fail with "http:-like". If I am right, it should do the same with the string "http://-links"; instead. That's just how discount works and I'm afraid it can't be fixed without rewriting big parts of it (or loosing the mailto autolink feature). If you don't need autolinking on mailto URLs probably upskirt makes more sense for your project. I'm tagging the bug as wontfix.
