Hmm, without greasemonkey installed, 

:open http://6v8.gamboni.org/flickrautopage.user.js

just shows the file as plain text without an error.

I don't know myself what would cause this error, but don't know
greasemonkey's internals either. I just know, that :open handles input
differently to the address bar. As a workaraound, you could:
:set go+=T
and open the url directly from there. This _should_ work hopefully.
