Good catch.

When you drop a file, the MIME type of the source file is determined in
fm_directory_view_handle_netscape_url_drop(). It uses
g_file_query_info(), which does sync. I/O. Maybe the destination file
type should already be determined during drag, rather than afterwards,
and using NautilusFile. This allows us to show a “link” icon instead of
a question mark when dragging a HTML link that points to a web page.

Do you want to work on the issue? :)
