Does Google follow a text based URL with no anchor tags?

[irvingw]

I am seeing with Webmaster Tools  that Google is trying to follow the text based truncated URL from SuperPages despite the fact that they are not in an anchor tag. The net result for Google is a 404 error as they try to access pages that do not exist. has anyone seen this issue before and any suggestions on how to prevent these errors?

A Superpage listing: The first link works fine, but the text based link shown below is cut off and as a result Google gets to a 404 page.
