Here's a simpler reproduction. Ensure that /tmp/a.txt exists, and then
eval:
(browse-url-of-file "/tmp/a.txt")
The message originates from here, sort of:
(defun find-file-noselect-1 (buf filename nowarn rawfile truename number)
[...]
(condition-case ()
(let ((inhibit-read-only t))
(insert-file-contents-literally filename t))
(file-error
(when (and (file-exists-p filename)
(not (file-readable-p filename)))
(kill-buffer buf)
(signal 'file-error (list "File is not readable"
filename)))
If we remove that condition-case, we get:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening input file" "Success")
insert-file-contents("file:///tmp/a.txt" t)
So the insert-file-contents-literally signals a "Success" file-error
when using url-handler-mode.
