My guess would be that it's the same bug as 504147. The mimetype
position in mimeinfo.cache might be important.

In yours. text/plain is at line 57 and application/msword at line 47
which means (if I believe last comments in #504147) that there might be
an “alias” bug.

Could you try to move the text/plain to the very first lines (at least
before application/msword), and run update-desktop-database (as root).
Then logout, log back in and report back.

Cheers,
