It's a bug in the un-maintained eclipse-update-site packaging type we're 
using to aggregate repositories. Those file:// ids are used to create 
unique identifiers for categories. Implementation in eclipse-repository 
packaging type is better and removes that, but we can't use it yet 
because we have some tweaks relying on the site.xml file.
See related jira: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11065

This has never been on top of the priorities since it's working well 
enough and the issue you noticed is invisible to end-users.
