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?
