Ok, I was just talking to a Gnome developer about that:
Apparently while a scheme is perfectly allowed to contain a plus sign GConf never had a concept of handling those. + is explicitely marked as invalid character and there is no special handling for such a scheme.

So I see the following to resolve that issue:

1. filter those URIs in the GConf interface code
2. ignore the errors (and switch newer TB versions to GIO (see below))

About 2.: Since Gnome3 GConf usage for scheme handlers is obsolete and is handled using GIO interfaces. Firefox and Thunderbird _should_ work fine if GIO support is enabled in the builds (openSUSE is shipping its Firefox >=4 and Thunderbird >=5 builds with GIO enabled for example)
I _think_ that GIO is able to handle that but haven't checked it myself
