Yes, I have the same symptoms as Matt.

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.2)
Org-mode 8.1.1  (the latest ELPA package fails in the same way)

xdg-open works on the command line but not through the org-export menu -
pdfs and html files don't open automatically.  There are no error messages.
