url-handler-mode is something I haven't examined closely, but I think
it's something that's kinda separate from the main url.el, and should be
reimplemented on top of the new URL interface in Emacs 28-ish.  As such,
this bug sounds like it would still be a bug then, so it's something
that should be fixed.
