I argue that this is an enhancement request, not a bug. You can't hyperlink a bit of ink on a piece of paper, so it's not surprising that when an application renders a document for printing it doesn't put hyperlinks in it. Putting hyperlinks in a PDF file is thus outside the scope of printing, and something that we can choose to add as an enhancement.
On the other hand, if we had a specific feature to save a web page as a PDF (requested in bug 162659), then how this behaves would be another matter.
