I think the problem is in "file", not the wiki nor anything you've done to it. :-) Specifically, you say that a "file -bi" reports those files as being application/x-zip. If I correctly recall some similar struggles I've had, that's the place to focus - convince "file" that what it is *really* is the MIME type for oxt.
file lets you specify an environment variable MAGIC which points to your very own magic file.
So, do you have a list of the magic for each of the MIME types you need?
Then you need to get it into the upstream distro for file :-)
