References user views fallback select list widget shows views html in options

When I'm using the Select List widget, the views list works as expected, but when I enable the URL widget, the select list now contains a lot of HTML-code. This is the display in the select list, when the view is set to only show the username non-linked:
<span class="views-field views-field-name"> <span class="field-content"> [username] </span></span>

If I disable the URL-widget, only the Username is displayed in the select list, as expected.

Of course, this is the fallback-method if the author clicks create node and then selects user, and the normal behaviour is to create the node from a user-related link (the field is prepopulated).
