Bug#669977: /usr/bin/mimeopen: starts wrong application

Package: libfile-mimeinfo-perl
Version: 0.16-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/mimeopen

Dear Maintainer,

mimeopen consistently tries to open the mimetype application/epub+zip
with the wrong program, even if I set the default to something more
sensible.

mimeopen some.epub 
Please choose a default application for files of type application/epub+zip

1) MComix  (mcomix)
2) CoolReader3  (cr3)
3) Other...

No matter if I set this to other/lucidor, it always comes up with this,
and starts mcomix when called with "-n". 

~/.local/share/applications/default.list says clearly: 
application/epub+zip=lucidor.desktop;

And nothing of mcomix. in fact, mxomix is _NOWHERE_ registered for
application/epub+zip or for .epub (it's registered for .cbz,
the latter of which is a zipfile with no special mimetype)

So I'm thinking this somehow falls back to a more generic zip-handling,
for files not having a .zip-ending.
