This happens even on default 4.5.x theme (all of them if you see the demo of skins). The relevant section from footer.tpl is as follows. The problem is with links of pages in footer menu only (all pages):
Code:
<vte:box module="box_sections">
<vte:params>
<vte:param name="id" value="{VIVVO_ROOT_CATEGORY}" />
</vte:params>
<vte:template>
<ul>
<vte:foreach item="category" from="{categories}">
<vte:if test="{category.view_subcat}">
<li>
<a>
<vte:attribute name="href">
<vte:if test="{category.redirect}">
<vte:value select="{category.redirect}" />
<vte:else>
<vte:value select="{category.get_href}" />
</vte:else>
</vte:if>
</vte:attribute>
<vte:value select="{category.category_name}" />
</a>
</li>
</vte:if>
</vte:foreach>
</ul>
</vte:template>
</vte:box>
