Not broken per se in that the default behaviour is to treat news: the
same as http: on export.  If that's not what you want, you can customise
the behaviour yourself using

,----[ C-h f org-add-link-type RET ]
| org-add-link-type is a compiled Lisp function in ‘org.el’.
| 
| (org-add-link-type TYPE &optional FOLLOW EXPORT)
| 
| Add TYPE to the list of ‘org-link-types’.
| Re-compute all regular expressions depending on ‘org-link-types’
| 
| FOLLOW and EXPORT are two functions.
| 
| FOLLOW should take the link path as the single argument and do whatever
| is necessary to follow the link, for example find a file or display
| a mail message.
| 
| EXPORT should format the link path for export to one of the export formats.
| It should be a function accepting three arguments:
| 
|   path    the path of the link, the text after the prefix (like "http:")
|   desc    the description of the link, if any
|   format  the export format, a symbol like ‘html’ or ‘latex’ or ‘ascii’.
| 
| The function may use the FORMAT information to return different values
| depending on the format.  The return value will be put literally into
| the exported file.  If the return value is nil, this means Org should
| do what it normally does with links which do not have EXPORT defined.
| 
| Org mode has a built-in default for exporting links.  If you are happy with
| this default, there is no need to define an export function for the link
| type.  For a simple example of an export function, see ‘org-bbdb.el’.
