Glad you at least found a workaround, but did you ever find out why it was needed?

Oh joy!

I found the solution!
Thank you Ken and Sarah for the ideas. And THANK YOU Scott Rossi for the final solution!
After trying again and failing miserably, I went thru some old posts I had saved regarding this subject. 

Scott's post is from 2002, and it worked when all else failed.

on mouseUp
  global tUrl
  # tUrl is the full path of the URL you are trying to launch
      put "http://www.gypsyware.com"; into tUrl

  put \
      "<html>" & return & \
      "<head>" & return & \
      "<meta http-equiv=" & q("Refresh") && "content=" & \
      q("0; URL=" & tURL) & ">" & return & \
      "<title>Launcher</title>" & return & \
      "</head>" & return & \
      "<body>" & return & \
      "<center>" & return & \
      "<BR><BR><BR>" & return & \
      "Loading URL. One moment please..." & return & \
      "</center>" & return & \
      "</body>" & return & \
      "</html>" into tCode

  put pathToSomeFolderYouCanWriteTo into goHtml
  put "/gypsywareWebpage.html" after goHtml

  open file goHtml for write
  write tCode to file goHtml
  close file goHtml

put word 1 of \
queryRegistry("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command\") into tBrowserPath 
  launch goHtml with tBrowserPath
end mouseUp

function q pWhat # put quotes around it
  return quote & pWhat & quote
end q
