Meta-tags with duplicate domain name [solved]

Not entirely sure where to place this, although this problem surfaces at the share-buttons on the product details page:

Joomla 2.5.24
Virtuemart 2.6.6

When sharing the product to Facebook, the image isn't included. Although the og:image metatag is present in the source, the URL to the particular image isn't correct. The domain name is added twice, probably due to VirtueMart (?) passing the absolute URL which is then added to the Joomla base-url. I can't seem to find the part of the code that causes this while searcing for any og: string in either the Joomla or VirtueMart code. Anyone out there that can point me in the right direction to get the og:image meta working properly? The problem sounds similar to this link, although covering another developers' component.
