this exploit is not fixed.

Yes it is.

If you ran the test exploits before installing the update, then the applications that they run are already "trusted" in the sense that they were already on your computer as registered handlers for those URI types, so the dialog does not appear (if the dialog appeared for every preexisting application on your computer, then its meaning would be diluted to the point of uselessness). Since these proof-of -concept applications are harmless, there's nothing to worry about. Any new applications run by a URI will make the dialog appear as it should.
