The unhandled exception was due to a bug in ruby 2.2 in versions < 2.2.5 p284 (Issue 10738) The unhandled part was resolved by updating ruby to the latest 2.2.5 patch.
However, ruby URI.parse does not consider mailto: addresses invalid. The bug is that mailto:%value% is not in the form mailto:user@address.com (a valid email address). However, there is no other option to display clickable email addresses as a custom field. The validation here on the URL field should not apply, due to value being valid replacement syntax.
