Actually when I started tracking down the problem for my client I found that the MSDN article simply states:
CAUSE Access is not designed to open a database by using a URL address. ... I don't know if Visio has the same security issue as *.mdb files but I wouldn't be surprised.

Office products have the libraries built-in to allow them to access webfolders, but other windows apps ( such as wordpad ) do not. Maybe MS have not changed the original visio source enough to incorporate the webfolder library code. ????
