So what is the value of org-link-mailto-program? Mine says

,----
| org-link-mailto-program is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is (browse-url "mailto:%a?subject=%s";)
`----

and if that's the case for you as well, then org is off the
hook: you have to look downstream from browse-url to figure
out where it's going off the rails. In particular, check
if browse-url-mailto-function is set: if it is, try setting
it to nil and see if that gets things  back on track (not tested,
not guaranteed).
