With Safari 7.x, reproducible with extensions off, something like this:
Screenshot attached, note the URL in the status bar; unrelated to what's indicated by the finger of the gloved hand.
In some places where there's no visible link, the gloved hand appears (and the status bar shows a URL for a link).
Screen recording available on request, 22.6 MB.
Maybe a transient local issue. Extraordinary. I'll restart the OS.
