That is very curious, to say the least.

Yes. Although there is a bug open to make this behaviour more 
configurable.

You may want to look at the MIME type that the web server is sending. 
Try to fetch the file you want to view with wget, it will show the MIME 
type. If it really is [text/html] you may want to look under ~/.local if 
you can find anything of relevance.

As a workaround, you can type 'view-source:' in front of the URL you 
want to view the source of. Epiphany will show the source in the browser 
window itself.

regards,
