It looks like Fedora 23 template on R3.1 (not sure about R3.0) have default editor for text/plain set to emacsclient. Which requires running emacs server and fails if it isn't running. The exact message is (the command is exactly what is called by qvm-open-in-dvm):

$ /usr/bin/mimeopen -n --database /usr/share/mime:/usr/local/share/mime:/home/user/.local/share/mime:/usr/share/qubes-mime-override /tmp/something.txt
Opening "/tmp/something.txt" with Emacs Client  (text/plain)
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacsclient: error executing alternative editor """"

Proposed workaround for R3.1 release: do not install emacs by default.
