More generally, it sounds like MrEd is mis-parsing "text/uri-list".
I'll bet the "-list" part means that it's a sequence of URIs, probably
separated by CRLF. And probably there can be % escapes in each URI.
I'll go read a "text/uri-list" spec and try to implement it correctly.

One multiple URIs are in the list, one "test/uri-list" message should
trigger multiple `on-drop-file' calls. That's fine; it's essentially
what happens on other platforms.
