The correct way to handle this then is to have the safe default in
gnome-vfs and override in ubuntu-artwork (or something).
This would keep things working for Ubuntu, while removing one item from
the list of things derivatives need to debug and change.

I'm not making any assumption, the GNOME defaults in ubuntu are
optimized for the ubuntu desktop, that's not ideal but that's better
than having broken defaults on ubuntu. Nobody denies there is a bug
there, but the issue is not the default selection, it's that the current
mechanism has no fallback
You're assuming that everyone is using ubuntu-desktop. That's not a good
assumption, and not one that gnome-vfs can make.

ffm: No, gnome-www-browser uses the debian alternatives system. It has

integrated with gnome.

Doesn't gnome-www-browser respect what's set in the Preferred
Applications dialog?

gnome-www-browser is a debian specific hack and as described before it's
not ideal, uninstalling firefox should fallback correctly to an another
browser right, there is bug #217296 already open about that though

Huh? This is a bug, and you are forcing your choice of firefox on
everyone.
If firefox isn't installed, then this shows the incorrect application,
breaks gnome support for http urls and requires the user to dig through
to find this setting and fix it.
It'd be better to use gnome-www-browser which
Thank you for your bug report, using firefox is not a bug but a choice
though, it allow to have the correct applications to be listed in the
preferred capplet where your change would make a custom command being
displayed there rather than showing what webbrowser is actually set,
