I have also experienced this problem under Lucid where:

xdg-mime query filetype /bin/true

does not output any information. I tried:

XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=1 xdg-mime query filetype /bin/true

and did get a message

Running gnomevfs-info "/bin/true"

However, gnomevfs-info is not available on my PATH. The package libgnomevfs2-bin contains the /usr/bin/gnomevfs-info file, but this package was not installed. After installing libgnomevfs2-bin:

xdg-mime query filetype /bin/true

displays

application/octet-stream

The xdg-utils package lists libgnomevfs2-bin as a suggested package.
