Thanks, this works for me too. I guess I should add this to my .emacs. :)

I look into the browse-url implementation, if I call the same command
line ("open URL"), the same garbage will be shown in Safari.

So it is something happening in the Safari.  Somehow when it is pasted
in the address bar Safari, it has converted the pasted url into below:

https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E7%BD%91&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

The same trick doesn't work for Chrome.
