You are on Gnome, rt? I think there is a long standing "bug" in
gvfs-open (which is called by xdg-open).
See the following:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-07/msg00279.html
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652262
I came across this a long time ago trying to investigate why xdg-open
didn't work when running asynchronously like your example.

Hope this helps,
