It turns out that nohup is ineffective on xdg-open, as xdg-open's child does a 'signal (SIGHUP, SIG_DFL)' before it execs (!). This may help to explain why nobody noticed when Emacs stopped using nohup. Although nohup may have been needed for ancient GNOME versions, I don't think we need to worry about these old GNOME versions in future Emacs releases.
I'm closing the bug report as I think the bug is fixed. We can reopen it if I'm wrong.
