This is expected, as per Org mode's link syntax [[path][description]].

[[boo][  bla [[foo]]

is indeed a link with path "boo" and description spanning between [...]:
"  blah [[foo".

For you workflow, it may be more convenient to set
`org-link-descriptive' to nil. Then, Org mode will not hide the path
part of the links and you can edit the plain text as you wish without
being distracted by Org mode trying to detect the markup as you type.
