Hi,
browse-url-of-dired-file signals an error if the user attempts to
browse one of the special file names '.' or '..'. I see no reason
why it should not be possible to browse these file names like any
other directory file name. Below is a patch together with a change
log entry.
2011-03-11 Ralph Schleicher <rs@ralph-schleicher.de>
* net/browse-url.el (browse-url-of-dired-file): Enable browsing
of special file names `.' and `..'.
