As of today I haven't found a way to reproduce the problem without patching /usr/bin/xdg-settings. Even uninstalling all browsers, deleting the mimeinfo caches, rebooting the (virtual) machine, pretending to be other desktop environments, xdg-settings always reports that the default web browser is firefox.desktop. So importance is really very low, and I don't think this fix should be SRUed.
