My earlier explanation was probably wrong, though perhaps not totally.
I've been staring at this for a couple of hours and have noted that (a)
the version you are using is *not* the most recent version -- the author
has uploaded a v1.33 -- and (b) one of the changes he made in 1.33 was a
correction to the test in question in test file 'heuristic.t'.
So why not give v1.33 a try!
HTH!

I should have included this link to search.cpan.org's marvelous 'diff'
tool, which revealed this factoid to me:
http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=UR...3#t/heuristic.t

Note: URI v1.33 was just uploaded to CPAN on Sept 19, Sunday. As of
the time of this posting, it has not been propagaged to all CPAN
mirrors. On my Windows box at work I'm using a mirror which only has
v1.32: the version that gave both the OP and me errors on the 7th
test in 'heuristic.t'. On my Darwin box at home I'm using cpan.org,
which has v1.33. That tests A-OK! If nothing else, you can download
the tarball of v1.33 and manually install the distribution through the
usual sequence.
