I believe that quotes are stripped from the URL so it should be fine. As a test, change your profile home page to (including the quotes):

Code:

" onMouseOver="alert('foo')

Then move your mouse over the resulting link and see if you get a Javascript alert.

edit: Also try this important test:

Code:

javascript:alert('foo')

...and click the link and see what happens.
