You are facing this problem,
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11843

Some distros patched their shared-mime-info to fix this and later it
was probably fixed upstream.
http://www.nabble.com/Re:-Right-way-to-sniff-mimetype-from-globs-p13722083.html

The xdg-mime executable doesnt directly use shared-mime-info in the
recommended way, it does something with kfile on kde and gnomevfs-info
on gnome (dont remember fully, but it does not follow the usual
steps).
