This seems different to me than what is being reported in Issue #105 as I am receiving the Google authentication messages, but some of them do not work.

In particular, this morning, I went to use Google Hangouts and received a prompt from the app to verify my phone number. I clicked the option to verify and received an SMS from Google stating "Your Google verification code is _NCCiEA5qvy". I assume this is supposed to be some sort of hyperlinked URL that I am supposed to click on, yet TextSecure is only showing it to me as text so I am unable to click on it in order to verify my number with Google.

Actually, I don't think you were supposed to see that SMS. It sounds as if Hangouts is inexplicably registering the SMS listener at a low priority, such that TextSecure receives it first. Try unticking "use for all SMS" in TextSecure settings, then registering with Hangouts, then re-enabling SMS for TextSecure.

It looks like you are correct. After unticking the option, and confirming my phone number in the Hangouts app, TextSecure did not receive/show an SMS. I only received a Hangouts notification stating "Phone number confirmed. Touch to start a Hangout".

Strange that Google of all people would mess that up, but I guess I'm not terribly surprised.
