The MIME-type is given by the lines such as:
Header line: Content-Type: application/msword
and seems fine in your case.
Despite its name, delme_word97.doc appears to be an RTF file.
You are successfully indexing RTF files I think?
I'm at a bit of loss to explain what is happening with your Word documents.
You could try changing the line
$magic = '^\320\317\021\340';
to
$magic = '\320\317\021';
throughout, but I'm not too hopeful.
Double check doc2html.pl wherever $CATDOC occurs.
