% This doesn't work. See, the file on disk is never changed. If I do

How interesting!
I thought it was as simple as your using e'x'it instead of 'q'uit :-)
% to application/msword, and then hit e to edit the file directly, there
% is still a content type of application/octed-stream. Mutt will show
% this attachment as application/msword and will honor my mailcap entries
% for this type, but only as long as the folder is open. Once I open
% another folder (or quit mutt) all changes are lost.
I had no idea. That certainly seems odd to me!

Have A Nice Day :-)
