Oh, are you using MS Windows?

Because I see a line (w32-shell-exectue "open" url) in
browse-url-default-windows-browser.

Not sure how to help you with that one, but if you are using MS Windows, it
looks like you need to convince it not to use the
browse-url-default-windows-browser function to open the URL. 

If you are not using MS Windows, what does the Backtrace say if you do M-x
toggle-debug-on-error and then try to browse the URL?
