Works for me (under Ubuntu).  This is the code that's run:

      (if (and to subject body)
	  (if (report-emacs-bug-can-use-osx-open)
	      (start-process "/usr/bin/open" nil "open"
			     (concat "mailto:" to
				     "?subject=" (url-hexify-string subject)
				     "&body=" (url-hexify-string body)))
	    (start-process "xdg-email" nil "xdg-email"
			   "--subject" subject
			   "--body" body
			   (concat "mailto:" to)))

> xdg-email --subject "test" --body "xx" mailto:bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org

That invocation looks very much like what you're reporting as
working...  What's `C-c M-i' bound to for you?
