I believe you may be over-thinking this. I don’t use comment author URLs very often, but if I’m not mistaken, the URL for the author of a comment is usually the website URL the user has set in their profile.
I had the same issue once. The author didn’t have his own website, so he wanted his comments to link to his profile page on the website… But he entered the URL incorrectly.
