This is basically a different symptom of bug#42431 and bug#52243, so
I've merged these bug report.  (I think the solution here is to rework
how `W' works, but since there are so many layers involved here --
browse-url-default-handlers, among other things -- it's not obvious what
the real fix here would be.  Perhaps just change browse-url-emacs to not
use url.el for file:// URLs?)
