Looks that xdg-open actually returns an error:
xdg-open http://www.google.fr
Error: No running window found
So it is more a bug in xdg-open than a bug in Emacs.
Though the function calling it should use `start-process` instead of
`call-process` IMO.
The other functions calling directly a browser seem to works.
Bypassing xdg-open function work around this bug:
(defvar browse-url-never-use-xdg-open t)
(defadvice browse-url-can-use-xdg-open (around no-xdg-open activate)
(unless browse-url-never-use-xdg-open
ad-do-it))
