Ah, it's because of this --
(defvar browse-url-default-handlers
'(("\\`mailto:" . browse-url--mailto)
("\\`man:" . browse-url--man)
(browse-url--non-html-file-url-p . browse-url-emacs))
browse-url on a file that doesn't have .html in it will now not open a
browser at all, but instead an Emacs buffer.
In any case, the messaging is misleading and the buffer name is
confusing.
