If this is true, we should have a bug report about this problem.

There had been "bug#23184: 25.0.92; User-friendly way to override
doc-view-mode as MIME viewer", but it seems you say that didn't solve
the problem for you.

I also found commit 7e47d44da4b54c518c5e09b4f3d58dafdd43033d "Prefer
settings from ~/.mailcap over system and Emacs settings" from Lars from
six months ago, dunno if it is relevant.
