The preview-on-hover for those manifold links shows a 404 error. Not sure if this is Manifold's fault or LW's fault.

I would guess that the hover widget that LessWrong users assumes that every link to manifold.markets actually links to a market and produces an error for links to sites on manifold.markets that are not market and thus shouldn't really get the popup.
