I have added a comment to make users (who will face a problem despite a
fix) aware of idiosyncrasy of handling command line options by
thunderbird.
I do not expect that Ubuntu team will ship additional wrapper to deal
with the issue. Those, who desperately need it working, may write a
script that creates a symlink with ".eml" suffix and a desktop file to
open "message/rfc822" files using this script.
I am afraid that security issues might happen because mozilla soft
relies too much on heuristics and does not allow to explicitly express
intention through command line options. It is even impossible to ensure
that nothing following should be considered as options, remaining
arguments are URIs or files ("--" separator for a lot of tools).
Anyway the fix is a step forward. At least files having ".eml" suffix
may be conveniently viewed.
