The problem is not in Okular.

Okular just uses what KMimeTypes reports to be the mimetype of the file, and then uses the backend responsible for handling that mimetype. If the backend receives something it cannot read, it's not its fault.

To the TIFF issue: both the Qt TIFF plugin AND the okular TIFF backend use libtiff, so in case that file is really a TIFF, the problem is there.
