$BROWSER is not ignored. You can override it through the COMMAND configuration option, which can be placed in the configuration file (global or per-user), and that's clearly stated in the man page.
Probably the confusing thing is just that the default config file provided by the Debian package specifies COMMAND. If you think so, I can upload a new revision with COMMAND commented out.

http:// bugs.debian. org/212789 explains why this logic has been introduced.

Let me know.
