I have the similar problem few weeks ago with Facebook chat 'censorship'.

When I sent through Facebook chat the following link to my Facebook friend:

http://agorism.info/_media/a-lodging-of-wayfaring-men.pdf

facebook returned the message:

"some problem, this text cannot be sent"

Mentioning this link at the Facebook status worked without problem, so only
Facebook chat was affected. It was not my problem only, all my friends had the
same problem with sending this link using Facebook chat. 
Now it seems to work, anyway this behaviour was pretty strange.
