This happens because of this rule in the shared-mime-info database:
<magic priority="10">
<match type="string" value="##" offset="0"/>
</magic>
So any text file whose first line starts with two or more '#' will be
identified as matlab script (unless an higher priority rule says otherwise).

Can't reproduce this, the .md extension should rule out Matlab. Can you attach
a test file?

In general, extensions may be missing or wrong.
