What you observe is expected:
‘C-c C-o’ (‘org-open-at-point’)
...
... Furthermore, it visits text and
remote files in ‘file’ links with Emacs and select a suitable
application for local non-text files. Classification of files is
based on file extension only. See option ‘org-file-apps’.
Note the reference to `org-file-apps'. By default, Org mode falls back
to opening in Emacs if `org-file-apps' does configure how to open a
given non-text file.

Not a bug.
Canceled.
