I just tested 2.81-5359b7a03307 (2019-07-30) and the bug is reproducible too.

This is a bug in Python:

I'm not very familiar with Python's release cycle but it seems fixes were merged in the 3.7 branch in July 2018 and November 2018, so I assume the bug might be fixed with 3.7.2 and later.

Blender 2.80 seems to ship with 3.7.0, is there a specific reason to stay on that earlier release?

Worst case, since Blender ships its own Python build, it would be possible to backport the patches -- or work it around on the Blender side with some try/except statements. It's a bit sad to hit a bug when you want to report a bug :)

I found that it fails the first time you click the link, but seems to work on subsequent calls. (It's also not only related to Help > Report a Bug but any link meant to open in the browser). I'll send a patch that retries once on error.

We upgraded to Python 3.7.4, this should be fixed now.
