Nautilus uses the GNOME VFS infrastructure to open files; that
infrastructure uses desktop entry files following the freedesktop.org
Dekstop Entry Specification,
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/index.html
which includes a mechanism for distributors and system administrators to
specify the default handler to use for MIME types that have multiple
handlers
(http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s07.html#mime-priority).
That default list, /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/defaults.list, specified gnumeric as
the default handler for the application/vnd.sun.xml.calc and
application/vnd.sun.xml.calc.template types. I have corrected this in
gnome-vfs2 2.8.4-3 (sid) and 2.10.1-2 (experimental).

I have opened
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302563
regarding gnumeric's behaviour in this scenario.
