Sounds like fallout from bug 803143. I doubt this behavior will change.

Hi, from my investigation this seems similar to Bug1558502, i will put a see also.
@Dan, can you please confirm that this is your issue?

STR.
Load a local HTML file, eg from the Downloads folder.
Once loaded, long-press the address bar and then select 'Add Page Shortcut'.
Place the shortcut on the homescreen.
Tap the shortcut.

Expected result:
The page opens in a new tab.

Actual Result:
The browser opens a blank page.

Work around:
Tapping the address bar and then the 'go' arrow loads the page as expected.
Loading from a bookmark works as expected.
