Hm. ATM in fast detection its detected as application/octet-stream by gnomevfs-info. If it would be detected as text/plain, then gnomevfs shouldn't detect it as image/x-portable-bitmap.

I'm not sure if the problem can be solved in the shared-mime-info database. IMO there are two alternatives: 1) remove the magic from image/x-portable-bitmap (no conflicting global pattern) or b) forward this to the upstream of gnomevfs and kdemime and check, if some better heuristics between text/plain and application/octet-stream can solve this problem.
