I also get text/html.

This is strange.  I do not have this file, and I have the
shared-mime-info package installed.  I wonder where this file came from
(i.e., which package actually triggered update-mime-database).
Unfortunately you won't be able to use 'dpkg-query -S' on it.  I tried
searching on codesearch.d.n to see if any package installed this file,
but couldn't find anything.

I tried to create this file on my $HOME, but I still can't reproduce the
bug.  Can you please try to temporarily remove the file and see if it
fixes the problem?

Right, I don't know too.
