I can confirm the problem.. But I thing I now why we had it  :
until bonobo 1.0.2, bonobo was providing its own bonobo.keys and a
text-component
which was handling text/*
And it seems bonobo text component was always handling text/html until
users "force"
using HTML view in web pages...

About the default_component_iid, I added it because when settings the
good parameters
in gnome-vfs capplet, ~/gnome/mime-info/user.keys was containing it. I'm
not a gnome-vfs
expert (as you might have guessed :))...

I'll do more test with bonobo 1.0.2
