Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

/usr/share/mime/packages/openoffice.org-common.xml (line 63) which is installed 
with OO.o defines the mimetype "application/msword" with the description "Word 
document template". This causes all Word documents (both *.doc and *.dot) to be 
described as "Word document template in Nautilus.
 <mime-type type="application/msword">
    <comment>Word document template</comment>
    <glob pattern="*.dot"/>
 </mime-type>

The solution is to change that mimetype to application/msword-template, as used 
by freedesktop.org shared-mime-database. (Probably this has to be changed in 
some source file used to generate this file.)
 <mime-type type="application/msword-template">
    <comment>Word document template</comment>
    <glob pattern="*.dot"/>
 </mime-type>
