It is a bug in KParts::BrowserRun. Without getting into the gory
details, the problem was caused by the fact that the original ioslave
used to obtain the mimetype was never being reused by Ark because the
job that was put on hold in KParts::BrowserRun::slotBrowserMimeType
never gets published. Fixing that should fix the problem.
