It is reproducible. You can test this, for example, by removing the
extension from a media file, and observing that it is still recognised
as a media file in Nautilus because of its magic number data. Then open
a media player, e.g. SMPlayer or Totem, and use the "Open..." facility.
Note how the file is not listed because it doesn't match the extension
glob.

As you can see, the Gnome file open dialogs use their own globbing and
do not tap into the shared-mime-info database.

I'm using Lucid and the issue is that Gnome does not list files of a
certain type using XML namespacing, magic numbers or the globs in the
MIME database, but rather through a separate globbing mechanism.
