Hm. If the open command is getting the full path to the file I don't know why it would reveal it rather than show it. Are you sure you don't have any newlines or spaces in there where they shouldn't be? E.g. maybe it's really running 'open /tmp/`id -u`/' instead of the full path to the file? What happens if you double-click on results.html in the Finder?
You can always change the open call to 'open -a Safari /tmp/`id -u`/results.html' which forces open to use Safari ... on the other hand it doesn't really sound like that's where your problem lies.
