Repro on Meta:

1. go to user admin page
2. click on Edit badges
3. assign a badge adding an external URL as Reason

The admin should be warned that the URL is invalid (is not an internal URL) and clicking on Grant must produce the error `Sorry, an error has occurred` (btw a specific error is always better to identify where you are wrong).
