What do you mean, 'besides being modified'?

I'm on `GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0)`. Any chance
you're on a more recent version and this is a bug that was fixed? I
just confirmed that if I drop into fundamental mode and directly use
browse-url-at-point, the behavior still happens.

I'm using Chrome as my browser.
