I understand.  However, there's nothing I can do about this in TLU.  If
multiple applications/bundles declare a UTI for the same file type (e.g. dvi
= org.tug.tex.dvi and dvi = net.sourceforge.skim-app.dvi) and both are
imported, the results are not deterministic.

I think there are a couple of solutions on the Skim side:

a) declare the DVI UTI as exported so it overrides all others
b) add org.tug.tex.dvi in LSItemContentTypes for .dvi

Neither would break TLU's plugins.  I'm prodding the MacTeX group to see if
we can get some action on a formal community recommendation for UTIs.  It
may or may not be org.tug.tex.
