Unmarking as security as it appears that at worst xdg-mime will simply
echo back (part of) the filename and though while confusing and
certainly a bug, it does not cross privilege boundaries or cause data
loss. Presumably the user will recognize the echoed back text as the
filename of the file that was queried.  Filed as upstream bug
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21018.
