It took a little while longer, but I found a supposedly undocumented gotcha in Rails 3 that was causing my problem.
The controller in question had a private method "content_type" defined. Apparently that method is already defined for controllers, and overriding it was causing the problem with the MIME type. So, don't define a content_type method in your controller.
