When the URL contains some special or non-ASCII characters, it should be encoded with percent-encoding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent_encoding).
The behavior of the default location bar is to display decoded URL for readability but copy them as encoded form for portability and to conform the standard.
However, I found smart-text always copy them in decoded form so it causes some problems. e.g. paste them to a IM application then the receiver cannot open the link.
