I couldn't reproduce this.  I tried on 2 different Windows 7 systems,
and it worked as expected for me, both when Outlook was already
running and when it wasn't.

Does this happen in "emacs -Q"?  If it does, then please step in
Edebug through mailclient-send-it, which is the function emacsbug.el
invokes in this case, and tell what are the arguments with which it
calls browse-url.

If it doesn't happen in "emacs -Q", then please try to see what gets
in the way.  Is mailclient-send-it at all called, and if it is, how
does it call browse-url?

Also, what version of Outlook/Office do you have on that system?
