Actually, I tested it under Kubuntu and Ubuntu and got differing 
results - on Ubuntu, it launched Firefox and opened up the email 
client, perfectly addresses. On Kubuntu it did absolutely nothing. So 
I'm not so sure it's Linux-specific - I think the 'mailto:' is being 
formatted correctly, but I can tell you from experience that different 
mail clients are more finicky than others. Some need to have things 
quoted, some don't, etc.

Although it's probably a good idea to post your findings to bugzilla 
anyway just so that the team can see your results.
