When a WXR document is uploaded, the mime-type of attachment post is empty.
This is a not really a bug in this plugin and is actually a result of wp_import_handle_upload() passing $overrides['test_type'] = false to wp_handle_upload(). But my hope is that the feature of this plugin that allows choosing previously uploaded WXR documents from the media library will demonstrate why the bug in wp_import_handle_upload() should be fixed in core.
