The bug is actually more serious than that. As far as I can tell (I have
not looked at the code that closely) the autodetection is done by means of
the extension only, so that when the extension doesn't represent the file
type, it gives errors. In order to detect this, we have to actually check
the file. This is trivial for abiword, and for rtf, and should be doable
for others.
