I shall assume it's a bug in the code.

0. The docstring for org-file-apps for the "system" command says:

                  This command is specified by the entry whose car is
`system'.
                  Most likely, the system-specific version of this variable
                  does define this command, but you can overrule/replace it
                  here.

1. I customize org-file-apps's system command to be "xdg-open %s", then
customize the default command to be the system command.

2. Now I try opening a file type which uses the default command.

Expected result: xdg-open should be used.

Actual result: the file is opened in Emacs (it's a PDF file, xdg-open would
open it in evince).

If I explicitly customize the default command also to be "xdg-open", then I
get the expected result.
