Yeah, this was the case. I was able to work around the issue somewhat by
manually editing my mimeapps.list and setting kwrite as the default application
for the application/octet-stream mimetype. This at least allows me to open
plain text files lacking a file extension (or that have extensions that don't
correspond to a mimetype, like .conf or .nix files), which for me, was the
usecase most affected by the bug. But, this is an inadequate solution for, say,
opening pictures or videos lacking the appropriate extension.
