Upstream suggests some package has added this association, so it's not the core MIME package that should be interested, but the particular package that added the association (one of the Java core packages; there are so many)?
Still, it would be a good idea to have a system-wide mechanism to check for the executable permission bit, and depending on it either run the read association, or the execute association.
