Hi Kai, the problem is in the fixed joint reduction code in urdf2gazebo parser, ticketed here. A patch has been applied (see ticket), changes will be released with the next patch release. Thanks.

One way to see more details about this bug, you can edit your ~/.rosconsole so gazebo is set to DEBUG. Save your model with pseudo link (as t2.urdf), then run:

$ rosrun gazebo urdf2model -f t2.urdf -o t2.model
