If you configure Emacs to outsource the email job, you should tell the
system Emacs cannot handle mailto requests.  The emacs-mail.desktop
file that comes with Emacs is not meant to be used in all possible
system configurations, it is just a useful template and example.  It
is the responsibility of the user or system admin to modify it when
the system is configured in a way that contradicts the assumptions in
emacs.desktop.

So I don't think this is an Emacs bug to fix, and I'm therefore
closing it.
