The problem is that the netscape code that you're calling wraps the
url text that says -openURL(..), which apparently makes netscape all
warm and fuzzy.

The following seems to work for me.  The vm-mouse-send-url-to-galeon
function is just a rip-off of the netscape code from vm-mouse.el, the
qx-add-galeon-menu-item is just a touch up of what you posted.

(setq vm-galeon-program "galeon")
(setq vm-galeon-program-switches "-n")
(defun vm-mouse-send-url-to-galeon (url)
  (message "Sending URL to Galeon...")
  (vm-run-background-command vm-galeon-program vm-galeon-program-switches url)
  (message "Sending URL to Galeon... done"))
(setq vm-url-browser 'vm-mouse-send-url-to-galeon)

(defun qx-add-galeon-menu-item ()
  (setq vm-menu-url-browser-menu
        (let ((title (car vm-menu-url-browser-menu))
              (rest (cdr vm-menu-url-browser-menu)))
          (cons title
                (cons
                 ["Galeon"
                  (vm-mouse-send-url-at-position
                   (point) 
                   (function vm-mouse-send-url-to-galeon))
                  t]
                 rest)))))
(add-hook 'vm-mode-hook 'qx-add-galeon-menu-item)
