Thanks for the tip! Yes, this topic is a real headache. I had this type of issue on centos too (although I don't remember with which filetypes). For now I'm handling this problem in the insecure way.. using the mime and extension sent by the browser, and marking the file as "insecure" in that case. It's the only way I can make it work. None of the three mime type guessers works. I have problems with several file types, including the one you mention.
BTW, after updating yesterday Symfony 2 I saw that File classes that handle the uploaded files have changed. I was using "UploadedFile::getExtension" to get the extension, but now it returns an empty string. It uses pathinfo to get the extension. I didn't have a deep look at it so I'm not sure why this happens. I mention it only if it's relevant to someone. In my case I'm just getting the extension from the original name for now (because the "guessExtension" obviusly is not working if the mime type is wrong. For a .docx it's giving me a '.zip' extension). I'd like to keep this message alive in case anyone has more comments like yours about this which are helpful in this topic.
