Exactly. The problem is xdg-open does not respect interface defined by
underlying mimeopen (even if it is stupid). Thus it's a bug in xdg-open and
xdg-open should be changed to resolve this bug report.

I cannot change mimeopen API because it would: divert from upstream and break
third-party applications.
