I don't understand this. It sounds like cause for a bug report.
PJ> Handlers aren't involved until I/O is attempted, AFAIK.
I believe the operations listed under Info (elisp)Magic File Names

[I can speak for Emacs 20 and Emacs 21 development code. I recall
that XEmacs appeared to have some problems connected with file name
handlers, but I don't recall what they are.]
