Apologies, but this is really bug and should have been logged by me.

Can somebody please fix this up?

Hi Humphrey, to help me prepare a summary for the programmers, could you post the exact steps to reproduce?
For example,
1. Open nautilus
2. right click on (what type of file?)...
3....

And could you attach a screen print of the "other applications" menu, showing that ghex is missing?

Thanks
G

Possibly related to bug #1794899.

Note that the problem has disappeared.

My feel is that there is some underlying problem.

On what sort of file did you try to open it? Does it work now?
