no, but I have it in my tree that this will work as described

I did it in this way and it works fine for me
int InsetUrl::latex(Buffer const *, ostream & os,
bool fragile, bool /*free_spc*/) const
{
if (fragile)
os << "\\protect";
if (getCmdName() == "htmlurl") // HTML URL
if (packageAvailable("html")) {
os << "\\htmladdnormallink{" << getOptions() << "}{"
<< getContents() << "}";
return 0; // everything ok
}
if (!getOptions().empty())
os << getOptions() + ' ';
os << "\\url{" << getContents() << '}';
return 0;
}
it's part of inseturl.C. There are some other minor changes in
FormUrl and others.
