If someone has a build environment available to test this, I think the fix might be changing the condition in qgswmsprovider.cpp line 3887 to if ( !contentType.isEmpty() && !contentType.startsWith( QLatin1String( "image/" ), Qt::CaseInsensitive ) && contentType.compare( QLatin1String( "application/octet-stream" ), Qt::CaseInsensitive ) != 0 ) { ... (i.e. insert the "!contentType.isEmpty()" check) I've no local xyz tiles available to test this with.
