Based on comment #2, this appears to not be a bug. The mode 777
(rwxrwxrwx) specifies that the files were executables so should be
executed on double-click and not "opened" with any app.
Please log a new bug for your remaining issue.

Title:
Some desktop files don't open with double click or Enter
Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have two folders visible in my desktop but not in the folder desktop
(personal folder and trash), they were there when I installed Ubuntu.
Some days ago I've added two .txt files on the desktop folder.
Theses two files don't open when I double click, select and press
Enter, or right click and select "open". To open them from the
desktop, I have to right click, select "open with another
application", then it opens a window and I select my program.
After doing it two times and execute ubuntu-bug, select "open with..."
don't open anymore the window but opens directly the file with the
program I've selected before (it acts like "open").
To pinpoint the problem, I've copied two new .txt files, one with
nautilus and one with right click on the desktop. Theses new files
open normally, with double click or select and Enter.
So the two other files are kind of locked...
I am not sure if the problem comes from xdg-desktop-portal package,
but I could not find a "better" package...
