This is really an internal variable to xdg-utils. It is not a documented
interface, so you can't expect it to work. (Maybe there should be an
interface, though.)

A workaround could be to use gnome-session, or set the variable
$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID.

Have you tried installing libfile-mimeinfo-perl which is recommended by
xdg-utils? Then the URL should open in Nautilus.
