The apparent contradiction occurs when, e.g., an Opus file is tagged

If I understand correctly, a UA would return "" when canPlayType() is
called against such a file
canPlayType is not called "against a file". It's called with a single
argument which is a string MIME type. If you pass
"application/octet-stream", it will return "". Its behavior does not
depend on any state of the element it's called on (like what it's
actually pointing to, etc); only on the string passed in.
but then the file would actually play
because it is later sniffed as "application/ogg".
Am I missing something?
I think you're misunderstanding what canPlayType does?
