How about asking the xdg-open developers to help us figure out the
reason?  Or, failing that, debug xdg-open in the problematic
situations to find out what fails there and why?  E.g., could it be
that it fails because stdin/stdout is a PTY? what happens if you bind
process-connection-type to nil when starting the async subprocess?
