This is the new xdg MIME stuff.  Instead of using extensions, it uses
magic to determine file types.  It doesn't seem like the old MIME stuff
is consulted anymore.  That is, if XDG fails, it falls back to
application/octet-stream.  All of this is in gnome-vfs.  You may want to
file a bug against it, or ask around to see what's going to happen with
the classic MIME stuff.
