possible bug: shr-render-buffer is not preserving URLs

Question

Running shr-render-buffer renders the HTML accurately using appropriate faces for different element types and underlines links but clicking on any of the links produces the message:

No link under point.

Any suggestions?

Using eww instead of shr with this function works:

(defun eww-render-current-buffer ()
  "Render HTML in the current buffer with EWW"
  (interactive)
  (beginning-of-buffer)
  (eww-display-html 'utf8 nil nil nil (current-buffer)))
