Aha - right. Further investigation reveals that the problem is due to a commit
for the bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266. IMO the fix for
#266 is incorrect, but as always, it takes months and years to get attention
of xdgmime/shared-mime-info developers.
Reverting that particular change (mentioned in 266#5) fixes this problem. Tell
your distribution to enable HTML filtering by temporarily reverting that
change
