I tried your scenario with the following org file and I cannot reproduce
the problem:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* some urls
- [[http://www.google.com][google]]
- [[http://www.google.com]]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The resulting LaTeX file (attached) compiles without error and produces
the expected output.
