I managed to break it again.

Here are the steps:
1. Delete "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list".
2. Set VLC as default player for .avi files through nautilus.
3. Goto System Settings -> Details -> Default applications and set VLC player to open video files.
4. Go back to nautilus and try to change default application for .avi files. Get the bug.

It's worth noting that "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" is updated in step 4, but changes do not work.
