In the Gnome and Unity desktop environments, xdg-open calls gvfs-open with the URL. However this is broken in the current version (1.24.1): see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738690

The patch has been in master since May 2015, but it looks like Ubuntu's gvfs package is lagging behind. Even in Ubuntu 15.10 gvfs has not been upgraded. Looks like it's in 1.24.2, or the patch can be backported into Ubuntu.
