Using "open location" the default browser is used for URLs that start with "http:", but for those that start with "file:", again IE is always used.

I'd say that's a bug in Standard Additions 'open location' command. Its dictionary says "Opens a URL with ... (your favorite browser)",

It would be great to get this *bug* fixed.

I don't believe this is a bug, or if it is, it's only with the dictionary comment. "Open location" will "open" the specified URL with the appropriate program, whatever that happens to mean. For an http URL, that means go there in your favorite browser, but for a file URL, it means open the file with the application that claims it. The fact that the file is an HTML file is irrelevant.
