Interesting problem, that didn't occur to me. However, although it's not intuitive, according to documentation the MS Word filter should be able to filter plain text files: "Word Text Extractor org.dspace.app.mediafilter.WordFilter extracts the full text of Microsoft Word or Plain Text documents for full text indexing. (Uses the "Microsoft Word Text Mining" tools.)" Can you verify that? If it doesn't work, we should probably write such "identity transformation" filter (file a Jira issue). As a workaround, you can just copy the text file to the "TEXT" bundle and run index-update.
