Select the menu combination <menu-bar> <help-menu> <send-emacs-bug-report>
The keyboard combination "C-c Mi" which is advertised to "copy text to
your preferred mail program." does nothing. It doesn't even display an
error message.
But the command line

xdg-email --subject "test" --body "xx" mailto:bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org

causes my mail program -- Thunderbird -- to open a window with a new
message and the command-line arguments inserted in the right place. This
happens both with my standard start up files and with "emacs -Q"

Works for me (under Ubuntu).  This is the code that's run:

      (if (and to subject body)
	  (if (report-emacs-bug-can-use-osx-open)
	      (start-process "/usr/bin/open" nil "open"
			     (concat "mailto:" to
				     "?subject=" (url-hexify-string subject)
				     "&body=" (url-hexify-string body)))
	    (start-process "xdg-email" nil "xdg-email"
			   "--subject" subject
			   "--body" body
			   (concat "mailto:" to)))

> xdg-email --subject "test" --body "xx" mailto:bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org

That invocation looks very much like what you're reporting as
working...  What's `C-c M-i' bound to for you?

My guess is that this is bug#421 again, basically.
Whatever executable the xdg-email script calls (which depends on your
desktop environment; eg exo-open or gvfs-open) is probably forking and
exiting immediately. (It doesn't work for me either using XFCE on RHEL 7.2.)
