Likely it does (I have no recent checked out version at hand).

But ... wouldn't be the clean solution to simply call url-handler-mode,
and let it be active? Why do we need to remove url-file-handler from
file-name-handler-alist afterwards?

If somebody copies a url as filename into the minibuffer (that's ffap
functionality), and intends to load this file, this seems to be TRT.

And if url-handler-mode hurts, it needs to be fixed there.
