Sure, here's the bug:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63792

Non-Working Example:

$ xdg-open "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:b2e2cbb742754eb5a4ec14a5e71d0727ab2d7a90&dn=Workaholics+Season+1+Complete+720p&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80"

Working Example (preceding slash added):

$ xdg-open "magnet:/?xt=urn:btih:b2e2cbb742754eb5a4ec14a5e71d0727ab2d7a90&dn=Workaholics+Season+1+Complete+720p&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80"
