We don't use a tracker. This list will do, but M-x report-emacs-bug
will route problems to the right place.

Works for me with:

(setq browse-url-new-window-flag t
      browse-url-galeon-new-window-is-tab t
      browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-galeon)

You're probably missing the first setting.
