It seems that Thunderbird is indeed passing that incorrect URI to the default browser (rather than it being the browser that is causing the issue). Further experimentation shows that if the correct version and/or the punycode is passed to the browser through the shell then Firefox will complain "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" though IE will operate correctly. This experimentation was done on WindowsXP.
