No, it certainly WAS that way when I wrote and tested the code.  :)  But you're 
right, it appears that it has since been broken, by either a change in RB or a 
change in OS X (I suspect the former, but it's hard to be sure).  I've reported 
the problem here:

I certainly wouldn't recommend relying on this behavior, though, since it is 
not correct and may start working properly again one day.

True, but that's not something a well-behaved Mac app should do anyway (and 
your second possibility is apparently relying on a bug in RB).  I can take a 
JPEG file and rename it to end in ".xml" far more easily than I can change the 
actual MacType, but that doesn't make it an XML file.

Best,
