      I'm reviewing my campaign, and spotted the overly-dynamic URL box showing a few links.

      Reviewing it, they are my Google Tagged URLs (utm_source, utm_medium_utm_campaign etc)

      I've turned  some internal links to Google Tagged URLs but should these cause concern?

        it's almost never a good idea to use Google UTM tagged URLs internally, Cyto. Doing so really screws up your analytics for a number of reasons. (not to mention triggering the warning you're seeing)

        if you need to track activity on internal links, the correct way to do it is with event tracking. In addition, often the In-Page Analytics section of the Content area in Google Analytics can be useful as well.
