The area seems a mess, but:
1) nohup was removed from browse-url-xdg-open in 1c0f1a199ca, with no
explanation and as part of a change that seems unrelated.
2) In https://debbugs.gnu.org/9779#20, the author of that change said
I note that since 22-Jun-2011 browse-url-xdg-open no longer uses
nohup. This is either a mistake on my part (I didn't read the
comment in browse-url-can-use-xdg-open) or it is indeed
unnecessary and therefore isn't a requirement for xdg-open.
3) In reply, Jan said in https://debbugs.gnu.org/9779#29
See discussion at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-07/msg00279.html.
nohup is still needed for xdg-open.
And AFAICS that was the last comment about nohup. No-one ever seems to
have followed up Jan's comment.
