The basic problem here is that, conceptually if not physically, gzipping a file does _not_ change its type, and .gz files should not be handled as a separate mime type at all. See the top of /etc/mime.types.
The .gz.gpg case may or may not be a problem, but following the suggestion in mime.conf and enabling the AddEncoding directives _instead of_ (not in addition to!) the AddType directives definitely yields a configuration that is somewhat closer to sanity. Without that, firefox/iceweasel for one will royally screw up .txt.gz or .html.gz files.
