Default Exported contact to vCard turns free busy URL to question marks

I have this feeling that I'm taking crazy pills and wanted to ping the
community on this issue.

Here's what's up:
I have successfully published free/busy info to an Internet URL, I can see
the free busy information from a remote system if I manually type in the
published URL into my contacts list in my remote Outlook client. (Open a
contact, details tab, Internet Free-Busy, Address

Now here's where it gets crazy, if I save that contact as a vcard file and
open it, the "Address:" field on the details tab, under Internet Free-Busy
section turns my url into: "http://?????????????????????????"

so if i were to send that vcard to a client and they were to add it to their
outlook contacts list and then try to schedule a meeting with me, they would
receive Outlook toast saying that there was an error accessing
"http://?????????????"

I tried this from two different Outlook 2003 clients on two totally separate
systems and saw the same behavior.

Has anyone ever seen this? Am I taking crazy pills? I've searched the
breadth of the Internet and have found NOTHING about it.

The obvious work around is to manually type in the url and save in outlook,
but who wants to tell clients that they have to enter this URL into their
contact?

Can anyone else in the community try this and see if they get the same and
reply to this post?
